I am not a great organizer. If there are people in the Denver/Boulder (Colorado) area who would like to set something up, I would clearly like to participate. With 12 years of college in philosophy, I think I can offer some basic instruction in certain aspects of critical thinking.<BR/><BR/>Send me an email.

I'd like logic/critical thinking to be a standard course in public schools the way math, science, literature, etc are.<BR/><BR/>Regarding the program to teach critical thinking, I believe SCICOP has a program that does that.
