Critical thinking is not in very many curricula. A kid I know was rounding out the requirements for his certification at community college. He had to take some kind of sociology classes or whatever they call them now. He said his instructor said racial differences are not physical attributes but rather social constructs.
I asked the kid then how come some people are black and some are white?
That's the first time I ever witnessed somebody's thinking make them go cross-eyed
