Critical thinking has been the minds gate for centuries. Leaving the gate open invites flies which lay the eggs of permissiveness in fertile ground.

Critical thinking presupposes having standards, and having standards is now considered "being judgmental," and being judgmental is the very worst thing one can be--moreso than being, say, a suicide bomber, though not worse than being a Republican.
