A friend for 40+ years posted this on Facebook "I have always thought I was the beneficiary of an excellent education because my parents sent me to private Catholic schools. I thought we were taught well in the areas of research, critical thinking and logic. I am disheartened by the sheer number of people who shared my educational background who boarded and rode the Trump train, who bought into the lies around the election, who hold Rush Limbaugh up as a role model, who attempt to justify the insurrection and who spread conspiracy theories such as those espoused by QAnon. I now wonder if the schools that I’ve always considered to be of a higher standard were either just average or just elitist?" I want to respond, not to start a fight or WW3 but everything that I start to writer gets my blood boiling. Yes, I know I could ignore it, delete her or snooze her BUT Q tells us we need to help educate and I am at a loss. So, I thought I would reach out to my fellow frens and get some help and ideas. Anyone?

First of all a good education is not predicated on turning out liberal clones that think alike but rather to have the ability to think critically and to accept opposing views with the ability to have meaningful discourse and debate even if if the conclusions differ. This person is displaying the typical liberal think that accepts only one viewpoint. They can't debate issues but rather personally attack people who do not think exactly like them. Belief of any issues or belief system is predicated on looking at all aspects of an issue and coming to a deep belief in the truth of that belief or position. This person is actually very biased and ignorant and has a closed mind which really points out their total lack of true "education".
