Incompetency at its max level.

From Waxachachie Prep's website:

> A Distinctly Christian School To Help Form Lifelong Followers of Jesus

Guns for Jesus!

> Come discover a place where critical thinking skills and collaboration are employed in the classroom, along with various research methodologies.

Ironic...

> Come join the best of a home school education with activities that traditional home school approaches cannot provide.

Ah okay, as messed up as this is, it is starting to make a bit more sense how someone can be so dumb.

"Critical thinking" has long been a buzzword among Christians that means "Mindless obedience to religious dogma and never disagreeing with someone who has more status than you."

So more like, "ability to think is in critical condition."

If you used your critical thinking, you would obviously agree with church leadership. Ergo, thoughtless obedience = critical thinking

Was a buzzword when I went to college. Every professor in my school had to include it in the syllabus and describe and speak about it. I went to school for the brain vs. the soul so I got the boring "consider source, always be skeptical, think from both sides" bullshit version. What's this new version and where can I sign up?

“Critical thinking” in Christian school terminology means not believing in evolution, Greek mythology, and (in some schools) climate change.

Anti-vaccines, and the usual pro-life, traditional families, and gospel of prosperity.

I'd say this is the most American thing I've read all week but I'd rather not be a liar because that's immoral.

School administrators are generally the most incompetent people in the building. Nobody fails upwards like people in education.
