For starters I think that the 'ability' to think critically is innate. I also, having been raised in a country where true freedom of speech (then) had yet to have been hijacked, have undiluted scorn most US humanities programs - the people I know that attended them were literally having to write essays pillorying WASP males if they wanted an A. Where was the 'critical thinking' there?

Another friend of mine's son studying civil engineering was forced to study 'women's studies' - what critical engineering knowledge got missed so that could happen? The system in the US is rotten with this kind of enforced dogma.

I cannot wait to see those 'Academics' in the dole myself. Maybe if tuition dollars were not being siphoned off by these parasites college would not be so expensive.
