Well, I know of one such site -- but it definitely isn't suitable for
classroom use.

I second the suggestion on critical thinking. Internet users have got to
understand that they are their own filter and their own evaluator. You
might drive the point home to them with one or two really wacko sites.


Seems that the sites "J" listed fit that bill, but they aren't exactly
kid friendly.
