Advice for Students in a Time of Strife

by Publius | Sep 16, 2020 | Critical Thinking, Grey Matter | 0 Comments

By Various | We wish to offer some thoughts and advice to students who are or will soon be attending colleges and universities in these times of strife and polarization. We particularly address those whose beliefs are out of step with the dominant opinion on campus, while noting that sooner or later, if you think for yourself, you will contravene the reigning orthodoxy. When you deviate…

Is This the Brave New World We Want?

By Hal Boyd and Alan J. Hawkins | In her recent New York Times article, “The Poly-Parent Households Are Coming,” Professor Debora L. Spar of Harvard Business School seems eager to welcome what she paints as the inevitable arrival of poly-parenting—babies biotechnologically conceived by any number of parent donors of every combination of biological sex. All this and more is facilitated…

Your Children Are Getting Indoctrinated by Leftist Ideology

by Publius | Sep 2, 2020 | Critical Thinking, Grey Matter, History and Tradition | 0 Comments

By Douglas Blair | Your children are being indoctrinated. The education system designed to teach them how to think critically has been weaponized by the radical left to push an anti-American agenda.

WHAT OTHERS SAY

As a business owner, I really like the idea of connecting my donations and scholarships to a commitment to learn - to learn about the ideas that make for ethical and principled future leaders.

Rob

FOUNDERS CIRCLE MEMBER

"Thinker Education is great in that each course bolsters critical thinking, and in the end, as a student, I am able to take a stance based on my own decision."

Brittney

FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY

"Thinker Education has the potential to be . . . a Khan Academy for the Big Questions that students are asking, shaping the way we view the world and our ability to impact it. Thinker Education can be that, and I'm excited to be a part of it."

Jon

HARVARD UNIVERSITY

"The name Thinker Education is self-explanatory - it's a place where you can think for yourself. This approach to learning promotes critical, creative thinking. It's about open and informed and civil expression of ideas - sometimes with people who disagree with you. Where else is that happening in my generation?"

Jonathan

APPALCHIAN STATE UNIVERSITY

"Students are rarely encouraged to think carefully about issues from outside of a politically correct viewpoint. I appreciate how Thinker Education is doing a great job of challenging that system."

Hannah

SCHOLARSHIP WINNER

"As a leader in the financial services industry, I see too many people spend too much on higher education - without a strategic commitment to make sure that the students they are sponsoring are thinking critically about life's most important questions. That's why I'm a founding member of Thinker Education."

Tim

FOUNDERS CIRCLE MEMBER

"Thinker Education is doing a remarkable job of providing students with course experiences that are both pertinent to current events and to the bigger questions in life. It provides a perfect blend of topics that will keep a student engaged in the issues of today's world."

Samuel

VALPARAISO UNIVERSITY

"I like Thinker Education because they provide courses that lay out the 'non-PC' position and fairly contrast it with the other side."

Will

HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR

"Thinker Education has great potential to revitalize the entire education system because it creates a learning environment where students are required to think for themselves. The effects of training students to think well is that they will be able to engage the world as an individual thinker, rather than as a parrot."
