Don’t think too hard.

It was a long day.  I worked.  I came home to do homework.  I went to class (a very lovely class) and then I came back home to do more homework while the State of the Union buzzed in the background.

Funny thing about my homework today… we’re reading a book about “creating citizens” in a liberal democracy and, oh my land, this guy (old, white guy) basically says that in education, we should allow some critical thinking, but not too much.  If people get too critical, they might get cynical about the government and want to change it.  Um, sorry whitey, but people are already cynical and we have every right to be!  So, I think it might be a good idea that we think critically to do better instead of dumbing us down so we don’t question anything.

Insane.
