It seems to me that our society is losing objectivity when
it comes to the thinking. The ramifications of this are staggering; loss of
effective leadership, the inability to involved in productive discourse and the
increase in wholesale ignorance. I’ve been
reading several articles pertaining to education in this country, specifically
the impact on minority students. I have to say that public education chaffing
under ever increasing mandates are becoming ineffective in creating an environment
that fosters creativity and innovation. Students have become walking snippets
of facts and not free thinkers. I believe that an individual should be given
the tools needed to have a rational open discussion on a wide range of topics.
We have always had at least two educational tiers in this country; the current
political climate, in my opinion, is fostering a myopic view of reality. The
attempts by some to; step backward in time, socially and politically while at
the same time allowing segments of society to fall in a void of gleeful
ignorance is truly terrifying. It is up
to responsible members of society to educate those closest to us and allow
those individuals to be beacons of intellectual light to the rest. What say
you?
