Critical Analysis, and Logic Should be Required Curriculum in Public Schools

So..screw them. You've just helped make my point.

@jprtist Your point is that public schools should teach these things. My point is that those who control the public school have their own reasons for not wanting those subjects taught.

I don't believe I said they were all alike @jprtist but I have to point out that in order to get enough votes to get a position they must find a common theme they know will bring in votes. What I don't understand is why we have never had Native north Americans in government positions, they seem to have the welfare of our planet at heart and that is what's critical in this day and age.

@rebelann More native American's need to run, but we have had them in Congress, and I believe two got elected to the House in the last election, from Kansas and New Mexico. There is one Republican Native American in congress from OK. Ben, Nighthorse, Campbell was a U.S. Senator from Colorado in the eighties and nineties. He started as a Democrat, but switched parties to GOP when they took over the majority in the Senate. His reason was he would have more status on committees if he were in the majority. He retired in 2005 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Native_Americans_in_the_United_States_Congress BTW, I did not intend for my previous reply to you to be accusatory, There was another response, in a previous post. I was more alarmed about. I thought I'd make two points in one post. Keep Voting.

I won't deny that there are people holding office that know how to manipulate people to vote for them, and are dishonest about their intentions in leadership. But I won't go along with the anti-vote presumption that all politicians are alike. Part of Democracy is that A. People have to vote, even if it's for the lessor of two evils, and, B. People have to keep voting, to correct our mistakes. There are people in politics who got their start in Education. Their are also politicians who care about education. It's our job to find them, and put them in office, and to put out those who don't. We must alsoo hold our leader's feet to the fire. To throw our hands up, and claim "all politicians are alike", is how we got in this situation in the first place. Teach critical thinking.
