Review of Blame This on 'Nam Too- how education became indoctrination and what you can do about it

[Jorge Leon Salazar]

The book addresses relevant issues associated with the education system in the United States. It provides the reader with tools to promote and support positive changes. Critical thinking in education would undoubtedly bring benefits to society.

[Bettny Andrade]

I agree with the author's point of view. The education system is the same as it was hundreds of years ago; it has not evolved, not only in the US but throughout the world. Today we must make use of better and more practical tools for everyday life and to improve our citizenship, and this should be taught at the level of the educational system.

This is a beautiful review of the book "Blame This on 'Nam Too- how education became indoctrination and what you can do about it" by Thomas Rowley. I share Rowley's concerns of the failing standard of education and agree to his suggestions.

"Blame this on Nam Too" by Thomas Rowley highlights the shortfall of the American educational system. It explores how modern education has evolved from teaching core values to unfortunate indoctrination. Because the author is an ex-veteran, as well as a professor I do believe he has an abundance of experience to share with the reader. Although I'm not from America, I would love to learn more on how we can change the educational system to benefit everyone. Congratulations on BOTD.

Affer reading this review, even before reading the entire book, I fully agree with Thomas Rowley that education systems and Curriculum should be altered to factor in life skills so that the resultant individuals will have skills like critical thinking that will ensure they can engage favourably in public discourse. A nice book it is.

This seems like a very thought provoking book. The lack of critical thinking skills and the failures of the education system leave American youth open to misinformation and propaganda. It is a very relevant topic in today's society.

I don't usually enjoy non-fiction, but I certainly agree with the idea that students need to be taught critical thinking skills and how to decide what to believe of the huge amount of information we get bombarded with on social media, so maybe I would enjoy this one!

"Blame This on 'Nam Too" by Thomas Rowley advocates for critical thinking, civics, and history as a needed antidote in the American educational curriculum against anti-social behaviour, protests, and criminality. Well-researched and filled with practical guides to help the young and future generations, it's a book not to miss.

[Olebu Rejoice]

Rowley, an ex-veteran professor, argues in 'Blame This on 'Nam' that US education fails to teach essential life skills like critical thinking and historical understanding. This lack of preparation hinders informed civic engagement and public discourse. The author urges readers to advocate for curriculum changes to foster these crucial skills in younger generations.

Congrats on BOTD.
A significant shortcoming in the educational system was pointed out by the author, who also emphasized the significance of imparting life abilities like thinking critically in education.

[Alida Spies]

I don't live in America, but there are probably common problems with education. I agree that life skills are not taught adequately in schools and colleges. It follows that younger generations should be enabled to participate productive public discourse. The educational shortfalls that result in social issues sound like huge problems. Thank you for your informative review.

I feel as though Blame This on 'Nam Too is a thought-provoking dive into how education has shifted from teaching to indoctrinating. It explores the roots of this change and, more importantly, offers practical steps for reclaiming independent thought in learning. A must-read for those who care about the future of education.

[Jeff Kanda]

Modifying the education system can really help to improve the ability of the learners to think critically. There's a lot that school doesn't teach that is very important in the outside world. I appreciate the author for writing about this.
Thanks for the fantastic review!

As addressed in the review, the book sheds light on the shortcomings and pitfalls of education in America. I believe it’s an extremely important topic and issue, interesting for anyone to be aware of, despite their nationality.
