The TX GOP opposes teaching critical thinking skills in schools.

Seriously, it's in their platform!

And EVERY member of the TX GOP is expected to support banning critical thinking skills.

Of course, the best example that can be given that the TX GOP opposes critical thinking skills is the fact they that want to ban critical thinking skills.

For the GOP critical thinking skills is like teaching a child to look both ways before crossing a street.

That is willful ignorance and unvarnished stupidity at a nearly incomprehensible level. WTF is wrong with Texas, anyway?

It makes life simple. They don't have to think for themselves. They just listen to Limbaugh or watch FOX to get their marching orders for the day.
