        Look man, saying that the army wants a complete lack of critical thought in its soldiers is an entirely different conversation from ‘do soldiers even have critical thinking skills’. You gotta pick one before we can communicate together.

          I was talking about lies that schools teach.

          I’m trying to engage in conversation with you in order to figure out how that was connected to my original statement about the lies that are frequently taught in schools.

          Also I’m not a man.

            Oh. Hey Velma. Sorry about the misgendering. Won’t happen again.

            *edit

            My critical reading skills went out the window today.

            You can read the previous stuff, but corsicanpuppy was saying the not even the army, which is more famous than public schools for dlsiking free thought, taught that listening to authority without giving it any critical thought was the way to go, much less public schools.

              I appreciate that, thank you :)

              Yeah I think I was getting tripped up on corsicanpuppy’s comment. They don’t usually agree with me on anything lol. I was here just to talk about the school thing. Carry on!
