On cable and Internet news, a video of interviews with University of California students demonstrate the distortion of logic by indoctrination. Student supporters of wealth redistribution are asked if they will share their high GPA with less successful students: their answer, a resounding “no’; their reason, “I earned my GPA.”

Indoctrination develops belief in liberal, often illogical visions of what should be, but thinking develops unique logical visions of reality.

The lack of logic demonstrated by the students is a case study — not of thinking, but of believing. Education in America seems to have become enlightenment where students are sometimes educated, but always indoctrinated.
