Exposing the Cause of the Teenage Opioid Crisis
WASHINGTON, DC – The current drug problem in America is a strong statement of the age in which we live, according to The Fire Within author, Joe David. It is an age in which ignorance and sensations are esteemed, not knowledge and reason. For this, David blames educators.
By denying the supremacy of reason and filling students with anti-conceptual and anti-intellectual nonsense, teachers are creating disordered minds, minds that can’t reason and integrate information conceptually. For confirmation, the author points to the volumes of material (devoid of rationale) that students must swallow regularly to survive in school.
Being educated, David claims, is accepting propaganda and half-truths as absolutes in lieu of objective facts linked to reality and sound premises. Failure to educate students properly, failure to teach them to think rationally, results in the creation of the modern teenager – the babbling idiot – who can't process the information taught to them understandably because so much of it is based on ignorance and confused thinking, which requires drugs to process.
David believes this has led to the crisis in the schools, which has become a major social problem, affecting everyone. For schools to recover, they must hire teachers with subject knowledge and a commitment to teaching knowledge, uncluttered with political or social bias. “A healthy mind,” David said, “dedicated to the joys of learning in a truly intellectual sense is not a mind that needs to obliterate itself (and reality) with drugs.”
