Unfortunately we're at the point where this would count as indoctrination. Crazy people want their kids to have the same beliefs as them.

- erie 5y agoNo, it is the other way around, current indoctrination is intentional and the powers that be would not allow such a switch. Edward Said mentioned this once, he delivered his plans to overhaul the English curriculum in oil rich gulf countries, yet upon the authorities refusal for his plans to include critical thinking, cultural contexts,and values for schools,they explicitly said the target of the English we need was to produce people able to answer calls and do transactions. He said such indoctrination was universal.
- DethNinja 5y agoIt doesn’t have to be indoctrination. Logic is a mathematical concept, and can be thought in the classes, along with common logical fallacies.
- AnotherGoodName 5y agoYes but what I'm saying is that even a class of pure logic will be unfortunately met with opposition in this day and age since logic can harm the fragile belief systems some parents try to instill on their children.
- moistly 5y agoToo true. Texas GOP, 2012: > Knowledge-Based Education – We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) (values clarification), critical thinking skills and similar programs that are simply a relabeling of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) (mastery learning) which focus on behavior modification and have the purpose of challenging the student’s fixed beliefs and undermining parental authority. https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/answer-sheet/post/texas-gop-rejects-critical-thinking-skills-really/2012/07/08/gJQAHNpFXW_blog.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/answer-sheet/post/texas...
