There were a few things that completely changed my worldview for the better. These things made me think rationally, clearly, independently and thoroughly.

It certainly contains more information and depth than your teacher, who thinks that 'Obama will take care of things' or 'once the Republicans get back in charge things will be better'. People who still think that way should be taught how to escape that limited mindset. The first thing to show them is this quote by Zora Neale Hurston: “Anybody depending on somebody else's gods is depending on a fox not to eat chickens.” The second step is to watch the updated Crash Course:
