"When schools produce students who learned to think on the left or on the right, they're not thinking for themselves"
- David Horowitz
About this Quote
This quote by David Horowitz is a criticism of the education system. He is suggesting that schools are teaching students to think in a specific way, either left wing or on the right, instead of teaching them to believe on their own. He thinks that this type of education is not beneficial for trainees, as it does not allow them to develop their own opinions and ideas. He is recommending that schools should focus on teaching students how to think critically and separately, rather than teaching them to believe in a certain method. This would permit students to form their own viewpoints and concepts, and to believe for themselves. Eventually, this would lead to more informed and engaged citizens.
