(Note: when they say “think deeply” that is a synonym for “critical thinking”.) Here is one direct quote that I take issue with, from the K-12 education expert at AEI (my emphasis): “…many curricula in […]
Following a recent Substack commentary, I was asked this good question: “At what age can children be productively taught Critical Thinking?” I responded briefly, but the question is so important that it deserves a more detailed answer.

In my recent Commentary, I not only indicated support for RFK Jr. to head up DHHS but spelled out my top three recommendations for him to take. #1 was to publicly segregate between real Science and political science.
