Isn’t that called critical thinking?

Which is, by the way, exactly the skill Common Core aims to deprive today’s students of.

This is indoctrination by stealth, methinks.

Well, they aren’t been too stealthy about it. Very open.

Agree! Most likely it is a way to steer students to Progressive material rather than solid material.

"This is indoctrination by stealth, methinks."

Such suspicions are warranted, to say the least. I very much suspect that the "critical analysis" will be directed at news sources which contradict liberal dogma. Liberal orthodoxy will be the standard against which "error" will be measured.

Yep, no way the commie teachers unions don’t agitate against conservative/truthful news sites here.

Better nothing than propaganda “education”.

Yep.

The intent is the opposite of what they state. They intend to brainwash children into blind acceptance of the Deep State’s fake reality without considering alternative views.

Beware of the government teaching the “truth.”
