We need our arts programs that foster creativity and critical thinking.

In many places, inner-city children are taught orderliness, punctuality, and obedience. Conversely, <br />children in suburban schools are taught to use their creativity and <br />imagination; to think outside the proverbial box.<br /><br /> What this translates to is that suburban children are learning <br />leadership skills and skills that are basic to excelling and advancing. <br />Meanwhile, the skills derived from many inner-city schools are those <br />geared towards the service sector.

I see this trend also in America and Europe through much of anti-immigrant publications. Several groups aligning themselves with Euro-Christian visions antagonize leaders who emphasize more multicultural cooperation and permit immigration throughout Europe.<br /><br />American Christians also advance this attitude, the idea that Muslims are seeking to take over politics in the US and liberals are allowing it through multicultural education.

It makes the case that higher levels of authoritarian behavior — such as all-consuming tribalistic loyalties and rage over group blasphemy (i.e., criticism of the group and its leaders from within or without) — is the primary culprit, particularly (though not exclusively) among right-wing movements. ..<br />people with high authoritarianism, high degrees of authoritarianism tend to see the world in black and white, they have a greater need for order, that people with lower levels of authoritarianism are more comfortable with nuance and ambiguity, and can tolerate greater levels of disorder that high levels of authoritarianism correlate to clear dichotomies between in group and out group perspectives. ..<br />The first is to say that, on a social science level, there’s no question that there’s been a change in the relationship between one’s level of authoritarianism and their party affiliation, between, say, 20 years ago and today. So, 20 years ago, whether you were authoritarian had very little predictive value in determining whether you’re Democrat or Republican, and today it has very powerful predictive value...and now authoritarianism is essentially a better predictor of political identification than almost any other measure you can think of. ..If one scores high in authoritarianism, one is now much more likely to be a Republican, and if one is low in authoritarianism, one is much more likely to be a Democrat. —<a href="http://www.salon.com/2009/10/11/weiler/" rel="nofollow">Salon Radio: Jonathan Weiler on authoritarianism in American politics</a> <br />From the study:<br />Given authoritarians’ antipathy toward specific outgroups and more general ethnocentrism, it is not surprising that authoritarianism shapes a range of attitudes and issue preferences that touch on difference, such as race, religious differences, immigration, ethnicity, or sexual orientation (e.g. Adorno et al. 1950; Figuereido and Elkins 2003; Sniderman and Piazza 1993; Hurwitz and Peffley 1992). For authoritarianism to have broader political implications in the United States, however, these issues must be featured parts of the public agenda, and stark differences between, or at least starkly different perceptions of, the major parties or among differing political ideologies on issues that deal with strength, tradition, difference, and conformity must exist. <br /><b>Measuring Authoritarianism & National Election Study (NES): pages 13 & 14</b> <br />The NES be gins its four item battery with the following preamble: “Although there are a number of qualities that people feel that children should have, every person thinks that some are more important than others. I am going to read you pairs of desirable qualities. Please tell me which one you think is more important for a child to have.” The pairs of attributes are the following:<br />1) INDEPENDENCE OR RESPECT FOR ELDERS<br />2) OBEDIENCE OR SELF-RELIANCE<br />3) CURIOSITY OR GOOD MANNERS<br />4) BEING CONSIDERATE OR WELL BEHAVED<br /><br />Those who value “respect for elders”, “obedience”, “good manners”, and being “well behaved” score at the maximum of the authoritarianism scale. Those who value “independence”, “self-reliance”, “curiosity”, and “being considerate” score at the minimum. —http://www.gvpt.umd.edu/glayman/hetherington_weiler.pdf <br />Don't Republicans make for interesting test subjects?
