Is the fact that people still believe in things like Noahs Ark, people living in whales, talking donkeys is a failure by schools to teach critical thinking?

Maybe there needs to a be class called "Thinking 101" What do you think?

I was fairly lucky, we had a Humanities class (AP only) in my high school that covered some of the basics of philosophical thought. Plus my World History teacher, as part of the histories of other countries, briefly covered their religions as well, at least acknowledging their existence,
Just how in NZ a craphole Jess? *stern look*

I remember when I was in school, about 180 years ago now, granted, but while we had no formal critical thinking class, our teachers certainly encouraged it, at least mine did.

Besides, I like it here, there's no huge religious political movement and you;re not likely to get shot for refusing to believe in someone else's imaginary friends ...
It certainly couldn't hurt for students to learn logic and philosophy.
