[Cletus.D.Yokel]

My SisIL, a lost neoCommunist cause, was lamenting that the schools no longer teach any type of critical thinking. That’s right, she was lamenting!

I asked her, “So what is your critical analysis of the data concerning Climate Change?” Her reply, “I don’t need to analyze the data, that’s what we have the NSF for...”

There is a belief out there that Government workers are morally superior to mere scientists who do nothing but find facts. It is the government worker who molds those facts into abject truth.

All facts are to be filtered by the government before distribution to the people. That is the NEW critical thinking.

That's funny. They may not be teaching critical thinking, but they're most certainly teaching critical THEORY if you know what I mean. I would say I didn't really understand what critical thinking WAS until I went to grad school at a late age.
