A democratic society depends upon an informed and educated citizenry.
- Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)

With “No Child Left Behind” creating an educational environment of “teaching to the test” - emphasizing rote regurgitation of information instead of the development of sophisticated critical thinking skills - it’s no wonder we ended up with eight years of leadership by a C-student who can’t even speak proper English … and why we allowed him to lead our country into war.

It’s easy to lead people if all they know is what you feed them, and what you feed them is fear of the unknown and hate of anyone that’s not you. Without critical thought, people can be led like cattle, easily herded by the threatening barks of circling dogs.
