Oh Noes! They're Teaching Critical Thinking To Our Children!

 

As you might have seen, last week the WISGOP went right to work in seeing how they could cause more damage to public education.  One of their stunts, as Rep. Amanda Nedweski explained, was the introduction of a bill that is designed to stop giving our children a well-rounded education, including critical thinking, instead of just jingoistic propaganda:

Another troubling trend is the growing ideological divide among our young people, alarmingly 45% of Americans aged 18 to 24 view socialism as the ideal economic system, despite its historical and real-world consequences in other countries. AB4 ensures that students receive a comprehensive understanding of different government systems and how they compare to ours, helping them to recognize the value of their freedoms, the dangers of the systems that restrict those freedoms, and their responsibility to protect and defend our liberty. 

Troubling trend?  Maybe it's troubling to her because the kids are smart enough to see the crap the Republicans are pulling, whether it is in Washington, DC, or in Madison, and they are getting sick of it.  I remember learning that the City of Milwaukee has a few socialist mayors back in the day and things were going pretty well.  A lot better than they are these days, anyway.
