Thank you for raising such a crucial global perspective, Asmatullah. Your comment highlights something I should have addressed more explicitly in my piece - how disinformation and its effects on education look very different across different contexts and countries. You're absolutely right to point out that while America faces significant challenges, teachers in many other nations confront even more fundamental battles against scientific denial and exploitation justified through religion or nationalism.

I appreciate your example about teaching that the Earth is round - it reminds us that educators worldwide are often on the front lines of defending basic scientific truths against deeply entrenched beliefs. The challenges these teachers face deserve more attention and support from the global education community.

Would you be willing to share more about specific examples you've encountered of teachers navigating these challenges in different cultural contexts? Your perspective could help broaden our understanding of how educators can effectively respond to disinformation across different societies.
