    The powers that be don’t want you to think critically, because that limits their ability to control you.

    Really we should be teaching skepticism and how to recognize logical fallacies in grade school.

      Blue state with good education standards here, we were taught critical thinking in school from a young age.

      Not sure how effective it was, but there was a definite emphasis on analysis and logical coherency in the curriculum over rote.
