Comments
The age of critical thinking is over. Tell the kids the answers, teach them what to learn, not how to learn. What to think, not how to think. In the world of academia, the end (outcome) justifies the means.
You see folks, this is why we have mush brains who embrace the insanity of socialism, gender confusion, and going financially in a deep deep hole after scoring those high SAT's. All this, so they can go get their heads filled with mush at the university, PSU being one of the worse. Our system of education is failing in many ways, and here is a one example of why. Did you ever stop and wonder why they desire to have every child qualify and attend these centers of "Higher Education"?
Answer: Indoctrination by the progressive thinkers.
Mush!
