We've reached terminal velocity: Washington state bureaucrats bemoan 'rational thinking'
American Thinker ^ | 24 Dec, 2022 | Olivia Murray

Make Orwell Fiction Again.

The Washington state Department of Health recently released a five-part curriculum, and it transcends the typical bounds of the woke agenda so characteristic of the political regressives driving public "education" into the ground.

Frank Bergman's headline caught my eye, because the locations of the quotations were quite surreal: "Public School 'Climate' Curriculum: 'Emotions' Should Outweigh 'Rational Thinking.'"

From the article:

The health department claims the new curriculum aims to help students learn the 'intersections of biological, societal, and environmental issues.' ...

In the second phase of the curriculum, 'Climate Change & Pregnancy.' educators and students are told to 'pay attention' to their emotions.

'For too long' science has caused 'rational thinking' to be prioritized, the health department laments.

Isn't science supposed to be as objective as humanly possible? How can we take anyone seriously who actually suggests that hysteria is a better approach than rationality? We can't.

The Encyclopedia Britannica still declares that "science" requires "unbiased observations and systematic experimentation." Oddly, flighty feelings don't quite jibe with an "unbiased" analysis. The minds behind this curriculum undoubtedly possess college diplomas. How comical is that?

As I scanned the curriculum, it was clear that the overarching theme really is "Ignorance is Strength" — albeit conveyed in a myriad of ways.

“Oh we only got 10 years left to the point of no return” They've been saying that for the past 30 years. <<<

Yes....but 30 years ago it was “Global Cooling” and they had all the graphs and science to prove it ....

Since with science, we test theories to see if we have identical outcomes. If we have identical outcomes from multiple tests, the “theory” now becomes science.

So, if some event, some object or some action makes you cry or feel bad each time you encounter said event, object or action, then it must be science . . .

“We are entering into a new Dark Ages and we are the heretics.”
Isn’t that the truth!

Meanwhile, the kids in China are learning calculus and physics in school.

“How can we take anyone seriously who actually suggests that hysteria is a better approach than rationality? We can’t.“

I don’t either, and hope the trend becomes publicly discounting such persons as fools.

1 Corinthians 6: 9-11 (NKV)

9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals,fn nor sodomites,
10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

"Emotions' Should Outweigh 'Rational Thinking.'"

This is the ultimate goal of leftist gaslighting. They will also provide training in mandatory emotional responses enforced with dire consequences for those who don't go along.

“ Frank Bergman’s headline caught my eye, because the locations of the quotations were quite surreal: “Public School ‘Climate’ Curriculum: ‘Emotions’ Should Outweigh ‘Rational Thinking.’”

I learned the opposite in my public schools in Chicago. This philosophy does explain the barbaric immature behavior you witness from certain classes of people in the news.

We have long known that liberalism doesn’t care about reality, only how you FEEL about something.
