While he concentrated more on the linguistic and communication deficiencies of our citizens in those debates, he may as well have honed in to other root concerns-- not just the lack of core and common background knowledge but also the inability of so many to discern and critically think for themselves. ]]> http://drrosaire.wordpress.com/2010/09/06/losing-our-literacy/feed/ 0 drrosaire http://drrosaire.wordpress.com/2010/06/01/them-and-us-real-authentic-unreal-half-hyphenated-americans-and-all-such/ http://drrosaire.wordpress.com/2010/06/01/them-and-us-real-authentic-unreal-half-hyphenated-americans-and-all-such/#comments Tue, 01 Jun 2010 07:30:18 +0000 drrosaire http://drrosaire.wordpress.com/?p=267 ]]> http://drrosaire.wordpress.com/2010/06/01/them-and-us-real-authentic-unreal-half-hyphenated-americans-and-all-such/feed/ 2 drrosaire http://drrosaire.wordpress.com/2010/04/10/a-play-on-words-beyond-slogans-to-critical-thinkingspeech/ http://drrosaire.wordpress.com/2010/04/10/a-play-on-words-beyond-slogans-to-critical-thinkingspeech/#comments Sat, 10 Apr 2010 22:42:42 +0000 drrosaire http://drrosaire.wordpress.com/?p=248 ]]> http://drrosaire.wordpress.com/2010/04/10/a-play-on-words-beyond-slogans-to-critical-thinkingspeech/feed/ 0 drrosaire http://drrosaire.wordpress.com/2010/02/22/confronting-%e2%80%9cbarack-hussein-obama%e2%80%9d-%e2%80%93-in-name-only-ino-defending-race-identity-and-our-names/ http://drrosaire.wordpress.com/2010/02/22/confronting-%e2%80%9cbarack-hussein-obama%e2%80%9d-%e2%80%93-in-name-only-ino-defending-race-identity-and-our-names/#comments Mon, 22 Feb 2010 05:46:17 +0000 drrosaire http://drrosaire.wordpress.com/?p=236 ]]> http://drrosaire.wordpress.com/2010/02/22/confronting-%e2%80%9cbarack-hussein-obama%e2%80%9d-%e2%80%93-in-name-only-ino-defending-race-identity-and-our-names/feed/ 7 drrosaire http://drrosaire.wordpress.com/2009/12/16/cry-beloved-country-a-chronicle-of-the-ugly-the-bad-and-the-good-that-is-nigeria/ http://drrosaire.wordpress.com/2009/12/16/cry-beloved-country-a-chronicle-of-the-ugly-the-bad-and-the-good-that-is-nigeria/#comments Wed, 16 Dec 2009 19:46:15 +0000 drrosaire http://drrosaire.wordpress.com/?p=219 ]]> http://drrosaire.wordpress.com/2009/12/16/cry-beloved-country-a-chronicle-of-the-ugly-the-bad-and-the-good-that-is-nigeria/feed/ 1 drrosaire http://drrosaire.wordpress.com/2009/09/08/the-grades-are-in-a-for-pres-obama%e2%80%99s-class-on-civic-education-d-for-jim-greer/ http://drrosaire.wordpress.com/2009/09/08/the-grades-are-in-a-for-pres-obama%e2%80%99s-class-on-civic-education-d-for-jim-greer/#comments Tue, 08 Sep 2009 07:18:54 +0000 drrosaire http://drrosaire.wordpress.com/?p=199 Grading President Obama’s Class on Civic Education: A Lesson in American Civic Education. “Yes, I’m going to have something to say to the school children tomorrow,” a defiant President Obama yells out at the Labor Day Gathering in Cincinnati, Ohio today (9-7-09). And like a well-trained teacher, the President has already forwarded his speech to school teachers, administrators, curriculum review boards, parents, and yes, to the entire country to have it graded—even before it is to be delivered! When the extreme paranoia from some sections of our common citizenry washes over, if ever, and we recollect our senses, the question will be, “What was the furor really all about?” Was it about those lesson plans that quickly got reworded? How dare the President ask young vibrant innocent minds how they can HELP him, the President of the United States? ]]> http://drrosaire.wordpress.com/2009/09/08/the-grades-are-in-a-for-pres-obama%e2%80%99s-class-on-civic-education-d-for-jim-greer/feed/ 6 drrosaire
