I saw that exchange..Bravo!.....but I will admit your ability to debate on that level is beyond mine but I sure do learn a great deal from good posters here!
What I recommend to any parents who home school is that they print out a list of logical fallacies (easily available on the web) and give them to the kids.
Then, print out any mass media article on just about any subject, and let the kids mark up printed copies identifying each and every logical fallacy.
A typical New York Times or Washington Post article has _dozens_ of logical fallacies in it—dozens!
