We had a class the first year of high school that taught various skills every quarter. Things like giving presentations, properly using the scientific method, etc. The writing and researching papers component used that specific site as an example for making sure you dive into the source of "information" and making sure you have corroborating evidence. She would ask the students to check it out, and use the various techniques we knew already to evaluate it. Pretty much every student would fail and call it trust worthy and she would then reveal that it (at the time) was run by one of the largest group of white supremacists on the internet.
Not sure if the librarian who taught the class still uses that site, but as a 13 year old it was a very powerful lesson.
