As teachers in public colleges/universities we have seen a tremendous decline in people's critical thinking. ..partly because of our education system, partly because of social media (making young people more narcissistic), the internet (they all want to cite Wikipedia) and video gaming. . .so we are raising young adults and the citizens of tomorrow who have lost the capacity to think rationally and clearly. . .they know Lady Gaga, but not Lady Macbeth; the Kardashians, but not the Founding Fathers. We need to see a little more "Fight the Power," in them as earlier generations stood for Civil Rights and against the endless wars in Southeast Asia and the Middle East.

Absolutely spot on. It all starts with honest education by dedicated teachers. But education has been captured by the left. From Marx to Columbia University, from Dewey to the NEA and the Teachers’ unions. The only hope is the parents. They saw what their kids were being taught thanks to Covid. Now it’s time to throw the bums out.
