    In 2012 the official GOP platform in Texas was to fight critical thinking education in public schools.

    “We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) and critical thinking, which are skills that are intended to challenge the students’ fixed beliefs and undermine parental authority”

    They caught backlash and dialed it in, came at it from new directions. Now it’s CRT and such.
