Can confirm. I have a friend who is faculty in the Austin Independent School District. She told me of the meeting where the critical thinking phrase was officially removed from the district’s mission statement. This was maybe 10 years ago.1
I was… flabbergasted.
My partner and I took what amounted to a vow of poverty and paid for a progressive Montessori- and International Baccalaureate-based set of schools because we are not willing to raise humans who can’t think critically–this much we owe them.2 Worth every penny. Now I can’t win most arguments because all the thinky-bits we invested in mean I am outsmarted routinely. I have had to sharpen my debate skills as a parent.

So even good ol’ Austin ISD bailed over a decade ago on teaching critical thinking skills. Austin. A liberal bastion with a lot of Half Price bookstores and several universities/college.

Our fam lives outside the AISD district, and our home district is even more opposed to critical thinking skills than AISD.

The good news here is the Johnson County Commissioners voted 5 to 2 in favor of listening to medical professionals over the unhinged rantings of the GQP cult.
One take away from this was some new rw talking points. Much concern over the recall of PCR tests. Also a now withdrawn study claiming dangerous levels of carbon dioxide for kids wearing mask. That one floated by a member of the commissioners, also debunked shortly after my another commissioner.

Yeah. Outside Austin there are some serious enclaves of right wing nuttery. Like Leander ISD, home of ridiculous book bans.

Listening to people like this is so disheartening. They are so far in and I can’t think of a way to pull them out of the quagmire they are voluntarily drowning in.

The virus is manufactured in order to convince us to inject ourselves with the vaccine spike protein bio-weapon.
I’ve heard it all before.
Now people are posting their own, “look what I saw at my board meeting,” in the comments.
And here’s a light palate cleanser:

She listed almost all the conspiracy theories that people like the most. All that was left out were those financial theories about the return of the gold standard, that every American receives a certain amount of money at birth and that soon the entire world financial system will be reset and all debts forgiven.
