“They may be smart, but their critical minds are still not developed.” |
The ego-gratification associated with the regurgitation & praise model is reinforced throughout Middle and High School. It is during this time that the ‘gifted & talented’ students are separated out from their ‘inferiors’ and taught to repeat such rubbish as:
-
America’s Constitution is outdated.
-
Karl Marx was a great philosopher.
-
The Civil War was about slavery.
-
FDR’s New Deal saved America.
-
Germany started 2 World Wars.
-
6 Million Jews were gassed in ‘The Holocaust’.
-
Picasso was the greatest artist.
-
Einstein was the smartest man who ever walked the face of the Earth.
-
Senator Joe McCarthy was evil.
-
Martin Luther King was a Saint.
-
Capitalism is about greed.
-
Socialism is about charity.
-
Men and women are the same.
-
There is no such thing as race.
-
Man ‘evolved’ from pond scum.
-
Global Warming is a proven fact.
-
There are no government conspiracies.
-
Homosexuality is normal.
-
Guns and religion are evil.
