Yes! Critical thinking is one third of what we teach in English Composition, and the other 2 are critical reading and critical writing. As in questioning the frame or premise of an argument. Otherwise you sit on the sidelines with the flat earth club, no progress possible.

Oh look—specific dollar amounts and percentages resulting from the big betrayal bill for Californians to share with those wondering WTF is really in the bill. Other images for other states available as well. Let’s Get the Truth Out!

One more capitulation, one more bended knee, one more mafia-style shakedown that means less truth and freedom of the press for us.

Yes and yes. Mike Johnson told us literally hours ago that he thought the American people deserved to know the truth and see the files. He's a small, soiled hand-puppet.

All completely true, and I can't stand it.

Yes, out of control. Agencies created by an Act of Congress are not his toys to smash. Who will sue on behalf of schools and teachers and parents?

I liked the slides, fyi!

He kinda said why in a way that could go straight into the filing about the use of fake emergencies for tariffs.

Let us pray for this retirement.

We love to see it!

What an a-hole.

Yes, I remember being SO outraged, and knew it would encourage more lawless behavior!

It’s a monstrous bill patched together by monsters. And we will make SURE they own and wear it as we hold them accountable.
