How do we know that we aren't all wrong now; about anything; about everything?

Easy current example. Global warming is caused by CO2 from automobiles. Group consensus is that this is fact. Actually the co2 data and temperature data are poor fits. A more accurate correlation exists between solar output and global warming. Ask any astronomer and they will tell you that all of the plantets in our solar system are experiencing "global warming" due to these changes in solar output. A less recent example that you might propose should your teacher be one of the brainwashed groupthinkers on this matter is the idea that the earth was the center of the universe. This was very popular and supported by the church for a very long time. Galileo was excommunicated because of his belief that the earth circled the sun. He later recanted to avoid being executed for heresy.

The Spanish American War. The Hearst papers fanned the flames of war by insisting the USS Maine was sunk by the Spanish when in then was not the truth at all. But the majority bought it. A war based on manufactured truth. Sound familiar?

All you need to do is look around at what's going on in our country today for proof.
Or, you could easily use America post-civil rights. Martin Luther King was a powerhouse the likes of which this country had never seen before, who spoke out against majority America and rightfully won.
Use segregation.

Japanese militarism of the 20's,30's and 40's that led to the invasions of China, Korea, Manchuria and Formosa and the deaths of millions. With the general population blindly agreeing and following the militarists that ran the government in the name of the Emperor.
The Italian population who followed the Fascist government to war with Ethiopia and permitted the army to gas civilians to death (unknown thousands) in their conquest of a poor, developing African nation...

The heliocentric example is a good one.
So too is the argument of the earth being flat as opposed to round

Until relatively recently, it was generally accepted that women were of less value than men.
Even women accepted that view.
