The whole point of education is to gain knowledge, the only way to do that is never stop asking questions, the alternative is just learn accepted dogma, that requires no critical thinking at all , dogma allows no opposing viewpoints, is anti educational. It brings to mind the posters who tell you of their educational achievements lauding their intelligence and then without even trying to rebut a different viewpoint engage in shrill attacks on a person's character, blind to the fact they are demonstrating the exact opposite of intelligence, but you are right our educational institutions are no big on freedom of thought, much to their shame
