Critical Thinking

This notice in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer about an American professor who taught in an Iraqi university during the Saddam Hussein era caught my attention:

A Stanford University professor who taught English at Baghdad University will give her personal reflections on Iraq during a public address next week.

Kathleen Namphy, who teaches writing and critical thinking ...

Sadly, Namphy's definition of "critical thinking" is to be unwaveringly critical of America and Israel and not at all critical of genocidal fascists or terrorists.
