That is solely your problem that you don't understand it's on you to verify information. You as a student don't have time to quickly look up basic information on topics? Then I suggest that you also don't have time to listen to 3-4 hour podcasts for enjoyment. I work 60 hours a week and I never understand that frail argument. If you buy into information spoken freely, it is solely on you. I understand that by you mentioning you are a student, you are likely quite young. 10 or even 20 years from now you many not even hold these opinions you are forming currently. You may wish to actually preserve free speech.

Who is fact checking your teachers if you don't have the time to do these things? Do you just accept that whatever your teachers are now telling you within a school setting are true, fact, or something you should follow?

I can think back 15-20 years ago to multiple things teachers told me to accept as true or fact that were really just a teacher pushing their own agenda/ideology or belief on an entire classroom of impressionable youths.
