Carlin is good, and is allowed populist stretches .. he would know most every school would teach critical thinking skills ..

A recent conversation with a Columbia University professor who works with international students brought this to mind for me. The professor recalled a Chinese student saying that while fellow students from China excel on tests, including international assessments in reading, writing and mathematics, American students are more adept at thinking critically and creatively.

at least in states where they don't see creationism as science they would .. comedians are allowed
some leeway to play elastic bands for laughs, though that performance of his was a bit disappointing ..
