Olivia Murray has a post at the American Thinker today entitled Oklahoma public schools to teach about the 2020 election 'discrepancies' using real data, and leftists are losing it. You can read all about it, as it is a post and fairly short. The thing that struck me was what Ms. Murray states in passing:
(I remain convinced that you can’t be a thinker and believe in leftism; you can be intelligent, or smart and be a leftist, but you cannot actually be critically analyzing reality.)
I think Murray has hit on an important principle, that of noting and analyzing situations and ideas not as one wishes them to be, but as they are. Each one of us must come to his own conclusions, but the facts are not in dispute. Leftists are bound by their ideology. They analyze everything through the lens of their ideology. In the same way, I have noted that one cannot be a Christian and be a leftist. This is why so-called "liberation theology" is not Christian. It stems from the same principle. The Bible lays out the facts, the reality if you will. In doing so, it respects nobody's ideology but rather points to the ultimate reality: that of God our creator who revealed His true nature on the cross.
May more schools adopt similar curricula to teach students once again to analyze and think critically. We don't want to feed them the answers but rather teach them how to find the answers on their own.
