I was glad to see this group but I was hoping there would be some content here.

kinds of philosophical thinking we can teach the children of our
society are empiricism, critical thinking, and skepticism. It's too
bad Carl Sagan didn't write children's books. If you agree check out
the following website dedicated to teaching critical thinking skills
to children. http://www.criticalthinking.net.au/index.html
If you do not agree I'd love to hear why.

addresses the main content! :) As I contacted you regarding this post,
the group was only started this morning. So, you can consider yourself
to be the first poster.

Actually, there's a great number of books for children, some produced
within groups who are within 'skeptic publishing' circles and outside.
Do you have any recommendations regarding what you use? I haven't
personally found 'Demon Haunted' to be a particularly difficult text
to follow when suggesting it to teenagers. I seem to recall that it
was suggested as a NF text for the English course in my state, but
that was before new changes occurred.

I'd be interested in why you think you'd get disagreement? :) Peter
Ellerton has been invited to this group; his last article in the Aust
Skeptics gave an outline of what he is doing but it doesn't use P4C,
as far as I recall...
