Today in classes we learned about fake news and conspiracy theories. They have always existed but now there are so many around. So why do we have more of them and why do people believe in them, ignoring the facts? Finally, we discuss the role of us as teachers in relation when dealing with this with our students: everyone is entitled to an opinion, but what if that opinion is fallacious or ignores relevant evidence? (We love diversity: same questions, different answers)
