Education and indoctrination are often surprisingly difficult to distinguish. If one is 'educated' to have absolute faith in institutions (e.g. the New York Times / Wall Street Journal / Washington Post, the NIH, the CDC, the US State Department and Pentagon, cable news outlets, Ivy League academic councils, religious organizations, etc.), while also believing oneself to be 'well-educated' even though one has never learned how to apply skeptical analysis to the claims of these institutions, well, hasn't one merely been indoctrinated into a system of faith-based obedience to higher powers? Isn't it curious how teaching the ability to argue the opposing point of view (e.g. in what used to be called debate clubs) has been largely written out of the American educational curriculum, for example?
