Native American protests at an Arizona Illegal Immigration Rally

[telemann.livejournal.com]

Pushing a toddler in a stroller, a rightfully irritated self-identified Native American began yelling at the group, saying: “Y’all f*cking illegal. You’re all illegal. You’re all illegal! We didn’t invite none of you here!” Some of the audio may not be work safe, so be warned.

So you do not have an opinion, what the U.S. immigration laws should be. It appears that you have not given this matter a thought. Yet you have contempt for people (the anti-illegal immigration protesters) who do have such an opinion. Instead of attacking their ideas, which you cannot do because you have not formulated a competing idea, you are attacking them personally: oldthinkers unbellyfeel Ingsoc... er, they do not understand that the United States have been founded on unjust privilege.

I have a piece of advice for you: do not let moral posturing replace thinking. I understand that this runs contrary to everything taught in American schools and colleges (which I know firsthand, for unlike the commenter with Brezhnev on his user picture, I have graduated from an American university 17 years ago), but this is a lesson I've learned from the university of life.

Am I wrong? What is more prevalent in American schools and colleges: teaching critical thinking, or politically correct indoctrination? My impression that the latter is more prevalent. I went to college in the U.S. in 1991-1993, and my brother and my stepson went to high school here; I base my opinion on my own education as well as theirs.

Yes. You are wrong.

Where did you learn to make blanket assertions and attribute your own subjective experience onto an entire country of over 300 million people?

Well, that is subjective and also not what you just asserted. You wrongly asserted American schools teach the suppression of critical thinking in favor of indoctrination. You cite this without reasonable evidence, and then cite some vague impression you have of three people.
