Thomas Sowell Quotes

I Think We're Raising Whole Generations Who Regard Facts As More Or Less Optional.
We Have Kids In Elementary School Who Are Being Urged To Take Stands On Political Issues, To Write Letters To Congressmen And Presidents About Nuclear Energy.
They're Not A Decade Old, And They're Being Thrown These Kinds Of Questions That Can Absorb The Lifetime Of A Very Brilliant And Learned Man. And They're Being Taught That It's Important To Have Views, And They're Not Being Taught That It's Important To Know What You're Talking About.
It's Important To Hear The Opposite Viewpoint, And More Important To Learn How To Distinguish Why Viewpoint A And Viewpoint B Are Different, And Which One Has The Most Evidence Or Logic Behind It. They Disregard That. They Hear Something, They Hear Some Rhetoric, And They Run With It.
