(Nowhere) Governor "Goodhair" Perry has stepped up to speak out and call eduction that teaches thinking "out of line." Perry is calling for an end to knowledge-based education and a return to whatever the people want to tell kids no matter how crazy it might be. "This is the Texas way. People should be able to believe anything they want without anyone bringing up facts and other irrelevant things," said Jimmy-Joe Sanders, an "education reformer," who is working to find ways to keep book learnin' from getting in the way of stupid ideas. "I'm just glad the governor is looking out for our kids. They might no longer believe in Santa or the tooth fairy if they start doing thinking and learning and stuff," said a concerned parent who preferred not to be named here because the government is listening to our thoughts with tiny cameras. Goodhair had this to say about the need to stop education from teaching:
“We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) (values clarification), critical thinking skills and similar programs that are simply a relabeling of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) (mastery learning) which focus on behavior modification and have the purpose of challenging the student’s fixed beliefs and undermining parental authority.”
"We need a national war on thinking. You get people thinking and they don't believe what you want them to any more," explained Nowhere mayor Bobcat Bill Perkins.
