'Mumbo jumbo' teaching to end

The Australian: 'Mumbo jumbo' teaching to end :

"QUEENSLAND'S new Education Minister Rod Welford yesterday vowed to clean up his state's controversial English syllabus and to remove post-modernist 'mumbo jumbo' from the classroom."

Mumbo jumbo needs to be removed from all areas of our life: from politics, media, schools,univerities. We have been mumbo jumboed out. We need to think. WE need to consider. We need to discuss, debate, ponder. We need to look at the facts. We keep dealing with speculation, spurious suggestions, hints, guesses, claptrap, bunkum and , yes, mumbo jumbo. Time for the air head to go and the chook shed slapping can be dispensed with as well. Well ordered, high level , incisive thinking. Let's do that. Jingoism is killing us.
