CNN: Conspiracy Theorists Are Potential "Suicide Warriors" & Are Mentally Disturbed

meanwhile the number one agenda for schools generally, meeting, after meeting, are visitors that come into the public schools in the U.S. to teach: critical thinking! It’s what is seen to be the number one lacking in today’s youth (and I would add adulthood). Teachers (i have first hand knowledge of this you might say) spend most of the days in which programs are set-up for teachers to learn while it is a day off for the students, getting advice from these visitors that the school districts bring in to get the teachers trying to cultivate ways in which to enhance the critical thinking skills of the students. It’s seen, as I pointed out, as the number one issue that teachers need to find ways to cultivate these skills. Of course they never come up with real answers on how to do this – literally – it’s a bunch of we need to get students to critically think but never an actual how to do this. Especially in light of all the regulations in schools now-a-days that constrain what teachers can teach (due to regulated tests, etc…) that the school must have students pass a certain percentage of these tests or else the school gets taken over by the state. So school districts are under pressure to weigh between spoon-feeding a certain curriculum within the classroom and having the students think critically and creatively. The opposite sides of the spectrum. One side with mandatory knowledge and skills being taught and the other side being the student thinking for him or her self. The former is what is pushed the most or else the state takes over. Yet the second is seen as lacking and disappearing so about ten meetings or more a year focus on critical thinking skills.

So which it? Am I supposed to be a critical thinker in this culture or get spoon-feed indoctrination! The latter is prioritized more highly in the school system. From the looks of it by this interview on CNN, being indoctrinated and doing exactly, without any critical thought or being creative whatsoever, is perceived as being sane and normal. It’s a culture issue. The critical thinking is seen as lacking but as I pointed out – never (not exegerating) – are answers given as to HOW to get students to critically think just simply that they need to. It’s all rhetoric with no meat because it’s a culture wide issue. Indoctrination is what is seen as normal. Don’t question anything and take your vitamins, get the swine flu shoot, and go back to sleep. I’d rather think critically and use logic, not let fear take over.
peace!

take the blue pill and go back to sleep like a good little sheeple..dont ask..dont question..just obey..dont fear..your country is looking after you because you are incapable of doing it yourself.. :/
