My HS had a critical thinking/philosophy class. only about 8 kids in the whole school were even allowed to take it.

That being said, a great, and useful class.

That’s the thing about objective thinking. Do you really want that for everyone? We don’t want 5 year old kids to figure out for themselves what’s right and wrong; we just tell them and they’re doing well when they do as they’re told. At 18, some kids should think critically, others are just too feeble to get it right. They’ll critically, objectively get talked into joining a cult, or smoking lots of weed, or believing everything some charismatic prof like Ward Churchill tells them, or getting knocked up. Better for them to be subjective and afraid of an arse-whoopin.
