Do you mean Critical Thinking? Because everyone should know how to tell the difference between a rational argument and a logical fallacy. Those who know how to recognize a logical fallacy (such as a straw man argument or an ad hominem attack) make much better citizens because they can tell when a politician is relying upon fallacies and mistruths rather than facts and logical arguments to try to prove his point.

Critical science? as in chemistry, physics, biology, etc.?. . If so, you should study because you plan on voting some day. Environmental discussions right now would be very different if half the participants on both sides had a basic understanding of science.
