    It’s seem that we all have the same problem. Our education system (government brainwash).
    In some college and universities courses student had to read an article against libertarian ideology, the title was a day of a libertarian person, this article was publish in a news paper. The article was critical on the libertarian people. It’s was unbelievable all the negative opinion and statement this article was saying. The students has to stated the positive view of not being libertarian instead of develop their critical judgment ,or given their opinion they were oblige to write an essay on only what’s wrong we the libertarian people. They were not allow to argue against this paper.
    A student ask if they will have the other option, a paper on the other side and the answer was: No.
    This is what our kids are learning in school. That’s is what I call: duming down of the society.

    Why do we call a system of indoctrination an education system?? Today students are not taught the skills of analytical reasoning and thought.. The values of liberal arts methodology such as deductive and inductive thinking has been lost to most of today’s classrooms.. Applied analysis thinking and logic has become a lost art..
    The old IT adage “garbage in garbage out” describes so well the indoctrination that today passes for higher education.. Today, it would be difficult at best to produce under our so called system of education a Sir Arthur Conan Doyle or his famed fictionalized character Sherlock Holmes who used the powers of reason and logic to solve his complex criminal mysteries.. No wonder our students today are so lost when it comes to the exercise of judgment and reasoning which must be taught in the classroom and not assimilated by chance or indoctrination..
