About this episode
John Droz, an independent physicist with over 40 years of experience in state and national issues, discusses the severe deficiencies in the K-12 education system, particularly the infiltration of left-leaning propaganda and the suppression of critical thinking. He highlights the adoption of Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) by 49 states, which he argues undermine the traditional scientific method and promote conformity. Droz proposes a solution involving the formal teaching of critical thinking in K-12 education and a reformation of the Federal Department of Education to serve an advisory role rather than a regulatory one.00:00 Introduction and Guest Background02:07 Critical Thinking and Its Importance07:18 Differences Between Left and Right30:47 Focus on Science Curriculum37:53 The Role of State Boards in Education42:48 The Origins of Common Core43:22 Introduction of Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)45:28 Critique of NGSS and the Scientific Method50:56 The Push Against Critical Thinking53:17 Adoption of NGSS by States57:23 The Need for Critical Thinking in Education01:04:07 Efforts to Implement Critical Thinking Standards01:13:53 The Role of Federal and State Education Departments01:20:44 Conclusion and Final Thoughtshttp://wiseenergy.org/https://election-integrity.info/https://c19science.info/https://criticallythinking.substack.com/John’s email: aaprjohn@northnet.org=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1
