And I kind of doubt that logic classes have been dumbed down to pacify the crybullies.
It's logic, after all, not gender studies.
I just recently purchased my first rifle.

@Giovanna Liviana you assume they still have logic courses. Given that science is under attack because it facts don't care about feels says logic is a dying art on college grounds.
I know when I went, it was not a mandatory class (although they selected my class to test pilot a logic course to add to the common core. But I got out right before all the PC stuff really took over)
Someone is exploding things in Syria again..
Seems like something did happen as there was registerd an 2.6 earthquake in the area.. https://twitter.com/myearthquakeapp/status/990691523472838657
Seems to be an arms depot exploded for some reason
" @WaelAlRussi " on twitter is the source apparently ..
Many dodgy sources claiming US/Israel missile strike.. Most from @WaelAlRussi 's unconfirmed local sources..
Only thing confirmed at this time, by the Syrian state is that it was an explosion in the Hama province..
@Grenade123 seeing as Logic is the crown of the Trivium, and thus one of the Seven Liberal Arts and Sciences, the very basis of Education in a free society, those Arts and Sciences proper for a free person to know, whence the name ***Liberal*** Arts and Sciences, I have very serious doubts that the university system would eliminate the teaching of Logic, regardless of what some post-structuralist- and postmodernist- inspired outrage mongers want. Also, seeing as how most undergraduate Philosophy programs on the European continent and in the United States focus on Logic and the history of ideas, ... yeah, they aren't getting rid of Logic, and I know very well that there are still Philosophy departments.
the whole structure of public education needs to be restructured. Too many quotas, not enough being taught how to teach one's self and learn things on their own

how to think
they teach what to think, not how to think
how to seek their own conclusions, etc.
yep
which is not exactly bad for the state.
I was lucky enough that I had proffs in college that actually did teach How
for the most part, i think most teachers want to actually teach how to think, not what to think
def
i had great teachers in high school, and good professors in college. But i consider myself extremely lucky in that respect
same
probably a bonus from going to small schools and seeking out a college that was on the smaller side
i did have one college course that seemed to attempt to teach What to think though
i only had to take that one course though so i never saw it again
i was a history and poly-sci major and luckily those profs where good about teaching how not what
yea
the thing that is probably most disgusting is history. That is a subject who's whole foundation is built on how to find out the truth about the past, and its always "this is EXACTLY what happened, no questions." Rarely is history we are taught right outside the major "so a thing happened".
and by how in my experience i mean that they presented info and essentially said "you dont have to agree with this or believe this, etc. but you need to learn how to talk/write about it if that makes sense
oh def i had more flexibility in Poly-Sci than history
on the history side it was very much about learning how to research
History is interesting in that we are constantly changing what is taught based on the findings to come
