Concepts of higher thinking are not encouraged, and certainly debating or discussing variant viewpoints are advised against in favor of compromise and accepted agendas. "The masses" are being deluded into become lemmings, and the nation is on a headlong rush to destruction.Pam Kohlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00678673505358164380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-59084915281711312192016-03-06T16:19:08.814-06:002016-03-06T16:19:08.814-06:00As a college student in the 70s, I was puzzled at ...As a college student in the 70s, I was puzzled at the anti-American teachings coming from my professors and it didn't take long for me to decide that I had to do my own research and come to my own conclusions. I wasn't mature enough in my life experiences yet to realize that there was an agenda being set forth in the education of our young adults. And it has been over 40 years since, so I can imagine the indoctrination our college kids are receiving today.Pam Kohlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00678673505358164380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-73194267483017640712016-03-05T11:43:18.449-06:002016-03-05T11:43:18.449-06:00A well written post Belle!

It clearly demonstrates the effect of the cyberculture on our children and the extreme limitations that result in their knowledge, brain development and critical thinking skills. <br /><br />May we raise thinking children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord! Be blessed!Lynn Fisherhttp://preppersbest.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-1610118752929477902016-03-05T07:42:59.553-06:002016-03-05T07:42:59.553-06:00I believe that this movement has been going on for...I believe that this movement has been going on for a long time, and is culminating now in what the Bible calls "The Last Days". As an example, the American media began in the early 'nineties, a secret campaign to "dumb down" the English used in newspapers and TV/radio to about a Sixth-grade volcabulary. For many years I kept a scrapbook of neat sayings from newspaper columns like the New York Times; "...applying a two-valued solution to an infinitely-complex problem..."; "..a general recognition of the realities of the situation..."; "...your manuscript is both good, and original, but the part that is good is not original, and the part that is original, is not good...";"...your other options are broadened commensurately..."; "your equanmity will be shattered...";"...he was caught between the charybdis of command decisions and the scylla of political maneuvers...""...national foresignt capability may well be the camel's nose of central planning, pushing into the tent of a free society." Folks, you simply don't see writing like this in newspapers and TV, anymore! Everything has been dumbed down; everything has been simplified for "the masses".The Wisemanhttp://www.wisemansguide.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-42485531139783021092016-03-05T06:45:24.763-06:002016-03-05T06:45:24.763-06:00Belle, Thanks for your article and accurate conclu...Belle, Thanks for your article and accurate conclusions. I began college as a student in 1959, obtained three degrees at separate universities, and began teaching at a fourth in 1971. I taught college students for 11 years. The system was in rapid decline during my years at these universities. There is NO WAY college students are better educated now, and they certainly don't have critical thinking skills. If they did, they would reject all the politically correct garbage that has essentially taken over the college campus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
