You're assuming that because someone puts their child in a Catholic school, then they are not being taught to think for themselves. Just because they are in a Catholic school, it doesn't mean that the parents are taken out of the equation. If the parents are not teaching their children how to think, then there is a problem... and that problem is independent of school type. (ie. MANY non-Catholic children have the same problem)
