The "51% solution" refers to the challenge of handling contested knowledge—where majority scientific or expert consensus exists alongside vocal dissent. How should curriculum address climate change when most scientists agree but some dispute? How should health education handle topics where scientific consensus conflicts with some families' beliefs?
