...republicans?
I like to think so
Anything the educational establishment calls "critical thinking" would just be a form of brainwashing. In fact, they already have something called "critical thinking" and it is in fact nothing more than brainwashing.
I'm not sure you know what it even means.
Like most things that liberals come up with, what it means is rarely what it is, or how it is implemented and used. The Affordable Care Act is an excellent example. It is not affordable, and it provides little care.
Critical Thinking courses in public schools, is used not to teach critical thinking skills, but to lead young thought processes in preprogramed directions. Brain washing? Indoctrination? Call it for what it is.
