IMO, it’s not the fear of the school indoctrinating their child, it’s the fear of their child learning new facts and gaining knowledge that may make them question their parent’s indoctrination.
Another thought-
As for this present election, It’s one indoctrination against another. Which one you agree with is how you will vote. Can we just quit using the term indoctrination already?
Both side are guilty of spreading misinformation. However, I think one side is doing a much better job of it- (again, in my opinion).
Note: as a retired teacher,(and I believe most teachers practice this) it was always my practice and conviction that a student should never be able to know what my political leanings were. I always tried to give facts and allowed students to give their opinions as long as they could back it up with sound reasoning. I also emphasized that just because people don't agree, doesn't mean either of is wrong. However, I always stressed the importance of being respectful.
