2012 REPUBLICAN PARTY OF TEXAS PLATFORM

joost5:

“We oppose the teaching of higher order thinking skills, critical thinking skills and similar programs…[which] have the purpose of challenging the student’s fixed beliefs and undermining parental authority.”

If you can stomach it, here’s the entire PDF. 

That’s seriously a real quote (see p. 12).  The platform also calls for repealing the Voting Rights Act (except that it keeps referring to the Voter Rights Act).
