Quote by Aldous Huxley
Children are nowhere taught, in any systematic way, to distinguish true from false, or meaningful from meaningless, statements. Why is this so? Because their elders, even in the democratic countries, do not want them to be given this kind of education.
Summary
This quote suggests that children are not taught critical thinking skills because their elders, even in democratic countries, intentionally avoid providing them with an education that distinguishes between true and false statements or meaningful and meaningless ones. The reason behind this unwillingness is not specified, but the quote implies that the elders do not want children to possess such knowledge.
