A lesson I've come to learn, OP, and one I hold very dearly now:
It is not your job to educate them.
Once again..
Not your job.
There are plenty of willfully ignorant people. Even those of us harkening from some superior moral and intellectual plane are ignorant of something that someone else considers factual. If someone does not request your superior knowledge of the topic, it's a good sign that they're not interested in hearing your facts. I'm full of useful knowledge, but I've stopped giving it unless requested or unless I know the company will be amiable to it. It saves you a lot of frustration ("Why is he being so willfully stupid?") and a lot of lost opportunities.
