From the text released by the White House yesterday:

“You’ll need the insight and critical thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination and make our nation more fair and more free.”

What does Obama mean by “more fair and more free.”

I think he gave Joe The Plumber his concept of “fair” and as for America being “more free” I don’t think Obama’s definition and mine are the same.

Obama also paired “crime” with “discrimination” and that makes me wonder if his definition of crime is “hate crime.”

“Critical thinking” is a catch phrase that means very little when all the information students are given is one sided like with “climate change.”

There’s plenty that smells in the prepared text the White House put out yesterday.

Or crime and discrimination means racial profiling and sentence disparities between crack and powder cocaine.
