Crap. In Texas, the Republican Party officially condemned “critical thinking” skills because they might lead students to think for themselves rather than following the lead of their parents.
From the 2012 Texas Republican platform:
We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) (values clarification), critical thinking skills and similar programs that are simply a relabeling of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) (mastery learning) which focus on behavior modification and have the purpose of challenging the student’s fixed beliefs and undermining parental authority.
The same people who have been screaming that Iran would have a nuclear weapon within two years (for the last ten years) say this deal is a disaster because it only prevents them from getting a weapon for ten years! Masters of logic.
Yeah, but when you’re fleeing the Zombie hordes, you’ll be hard-pressed to carry your library with you. A solar charger for my iPad and I’m in business!
