February 15, 2024 was the first ‘Critical Thinking Day’ in West Virginia. To mark this exciting occasion, some of the founding voices in skepticism, science advocacy, and rational inquiry have come together to share their congratulations and encouragement. From pioneers of skeptical organizations to champions of evidence-based thinking — these leaders helped shape a movement that empowers people to ask questions, seek evidence, and think clearly in a complex world.

So, from all corners of the critical thinking community — to the thinkers, students, educators, and curious minds of West Virginia — congratulations on launching this day of reason and reflection. Let’s hear what they have to say!"
