Great point, thanks. Also worth adding that individuals in a protected class are not there by opinion / decision (not to imply that they wouldn't be if they had any other choice!), e.g. one does not choose to be gay, black, etc. Pro-life ideals are an optional belief.
- vlovich123 5y agoThat’s true from one perspective. From another perspective pro-life views have religion heavily mixed into it and religious indoctrination happens early without a lot of consent and can be viewed as a form of brain washing. So the optionality can be argued.
- xyzzyz 5y agoOf course, Republicans/conservatives are of the exact same opinion when it comes to CRT/woke ideology, which is why they attempt to legislatively remove it from curricula of public schools, to protect children from brainwashing in that direction.
- jakelazaroff 5y agoYou can describe any pedagogy as indoctrination. Conservatives are very selective about where the deploy that rhetoric. Grade school kids still get taught that capitalism is “better” than communism, but you don’t see conservatives flipping out about that. Edit: also plenty of people on HN who think their Kool-Aid is just water, I see.
- geoduck14 5y ago>e.g. one does not choose to be gay, black, etc. I'm not a lawyer, but this doesn't sound right. As an example, I've never met someone who didn't CHOOSE to get married. Also, pro-life ideals are a proxy for religion- which IS a protected class. And I (as an example) DID CHOOSE my religion.
