What a shame. I was super excited to send money to this grifter and show off how much of a patriot I am. And it’s fake gold, which everyone knows is super classy.

    We never learn.

    entirely by design

    https://www.edweek.org/teaching-learning/texas-gop-no-more-critical-thinking-in-schools/2012/06

    We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) (values clarification), critical thinking skills and similar programs that are simply a relabeling of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) (mastery learning) which focus on behavior modification and have the purpose of challenging the student’s fixed beliefs and undermining parental authority.

      Looked that up last year, dropped that from the Texas GOP platform over a decade ago. I suspect it was like CRT, a thing to get up in arms about that wasn’t being taught anyway.
