CRITICAL THINKING IS CRITICAL

It should be no surprise that the Tea Party opposes critical thinking. Now they are trying to stop testing for critical thinking in math and reading. The test is called "Common Core" and is supported by educationists, Republicans and Democrats.

The Tea Party is trying to stop the teaching of critical thinking, as critical thinkers do not support a party that basically says, "If I say it, then it is true."

Finally, people are doing what is right in education, but now the Tea Party is trying to stop the funding of the testing. WE NEED TO STOP THE TEA PARTY effort to keep our citizens ignorant.

In the US, even ditch diggers need critical thinking. You can not just "dig a ditch here". A ditch digger can get buried when the ditch falls in. A ditch digger can break gas and power lines. A ditch digger can mess up traffic for years. All because the ditch digger did not use brains as well as brawn.

Con men LOVE people who can not do critical thinking. If you are focused on making the most money possible, often you do not carefully examine the risk of losing the most money possible.

THIS IS HAPPENING NOW! Please take some of your summer time and call/write/email/fax your state legislatures and governors. Let them know that you support funding for Common Core testing.
