RE: Stop Teaching Students WHAT to Think. Teach Them HOW to Think.
Thank you, and followed back as well. I hope for our own sake that we can begin to teach kids how to think for themselves instead of how to obey authority.
The Pledge of Allegiance and this whole sports debacle around the national anthem and flag makes me cringe. People have absolutely been conditioned. I remember once in high school when I went to a Rage Against the Machine concert, and they brought out the flag, turned it upside down, and spray painted an anarchy "A" on it and I remember feeling uneasy about it. So deep the indoctrination goes that even at a RATM concert, that gave me pause. It's insane to make 5 year olds do the pledge.
