Republican Party of Texas 2012 Platform: No Critical Thinking Allowed

From the Republican Party of Texas 2012 Platform document:
"Knowledge-Based Education – We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) (values clarification), critical thinking skills and similar programs that are simply a relabeling of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) (mastery learning) which focus on behavior modification and have the purpose of challenging the student’s fixed beliefs and undermining parental authority."

Points for honesty, I guess. There's nothing more detrimental to the future of the Republican Party than critical thinking skills.

Don't forget the traffic cameras. Apparently Texas Republicans like the freedom to run red lights.
