A Florida state senator think it’s imperative for students to watch Dinesh D’Souza’s latest film for the sake of their critical thinking skills.
Sen. Alan Hays (R) plans to introduce a bill to require students in Florida to watch “America: Imagine A World Without Her,” since it would be great “instructional material.”
“It is important for our students to learn how to think instead of what to think, and otherwise, what they’re teaching in school becomes nothing but a bunch of dogma,” Hays said about his proposal “WallBuilders Lives” on Wednesday, according to a Right Wing Watch recording.
Hays believes that the film would help counter negative narratives in American history taught in schools.
“It’s our obligation to keep that freedom going, and this movie can play a very important role in that,” he said. “Otherwise, we will continue to see the fabric of our nation just eroded and eroded further and further away. And that needs to be stopped.”
Is he in prison yet?
Doesn’t learning to think critically involve making one’s own choices? I don’t mind teacher’s making films a part of their curriculum, but a LAW ? I don’t fucking think so. I don’t care who’s film it is.
Will their be a disclaimer that this movie was made by a convicted felon first? And some goofball in the state congress thought it was a good idea for you to be forced to watch it, kids
Hey, have fun trying to get a job.
It’s a propaganda piece, from everything I’ve been able to read about the film and those who have seen it. D’Souza seems to think that as Americans, we can do no wrong and it’s blasphemy to even suggest that anything America has done is ever wrong.
And anyway, why would anyone with even a spark of critical thinking want to take anything that a convicted felon would say with more than a grain of salt?
There’s more historical and educational information in the X-rated film Deep Throat than D’Souza’s America. Far less gagging, too.
