"We're raising whole generations who regard facts as more or less optional."

"You have kids in elementary school who are being urged to take stands on political issues, to write letters to congressmen and presidents about nuclear energy."

"They are being taught that it's important to have views, and they are not being taught that it's important to know what you're talking about... they hear something, they hear some rhetoric and they run with it."
