I agree, it's better to know nothing than to learn some harmful garbage that takes years to unlearn.Idk, it's better to be taught nothing than to be taught wrong tbh
I was referring to the "teach the controversy" movement in particular. Creationists know they can't just remove evolution from the curriculum outright (yet) so they want to cram the curriculum with so much chaff that evolution is drowned out by noise.

It's not teaching the wrong thing as such, technically, because technically they do still allow the teaching of evolution, it's teaching too many things, most of which are garbage, and removing the critical approach that would let people discern the garbage.
I feel the current media have a similar problem, the internet most of all. It's not the sites that are outright wrong, it's the enormous amount of trash, regurgitated content, half-truths, snippets, chaff, that makes finding out actual facts pretty damn difficult.
Neal Stephenson had a similar idea in his novel Anathem. The internet of the future is filled with so much stuff, most of which is noise, automatically generated content that diverges from the original material with every iteration to the point where it's useless but given equal weight; and you have specialists whose purpose is to filter out actual information from the sea of bullshit (actual, technical term in the book).
