Not a book you're forced to read in school, but one you want to read. Or, in this modern day and age, any potentially long subject matter online. So, outlaw books and the like if you fear people are being indoctrinated. Schools don't actually do a very good job of brainwashing. Not anything that lasts. Not if you can think at all.

In general, are you in favor of capitalism? I really can't figure you out. Also, it's not really, 'Private,' if the Government is paying for the vast majority of it, now is it? "War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen..let us give them all they want." William T. Sherman |

I think we are headed in the other direction. Not towards privatization of education, more towards communism. So we can theorize a solution how not to become indoctrinated, but I see no way out until we remove the central bank. I don't see that happening anytime soon. Our last shot was Trump and he didn't try to do it. One long shot is Bitcoin. It can make banks obsolete. |

You don't want children to be challenged to think at all! Yeah, teachers will tell your kid 2+2 is 4, all day every day. Good for them. If kid wants to oppose the message he can work out the argument over time. I've never met one teacher or prof who told me I had to believe government was the answer. We had open-end discussions sometimes on subjects. Big deal. . Parents can tell their children the Earth is flat, and god lives in your head at home when they talk to them everyday at home. Or viruses don't exist. I don't give a f***. Or they can tell them to be an atheist or devil worshipper at home. If it's not against the law they can tell them anything at home.

Columbus didn't discover America. There were black people here a long time before. I see the results of the indoctrination in every day life. For example, California is considering reparations of $5M to African Americans. Another example, is a blue sanctuary city trying to provide $1K per month to the homeless. The system is set up as a financial slavery system. But the folks cannot see it so some vote for the Party that controls financial slavery. |

Yeah...so much of this is predicated upon a radically skewed idea of what schools are actually like. Maybe H.S. and college are significantly different than they were when I was there, which is possible, I guess, but I really don't observe any of this at levels lower than that. There are perhaps a few isolated cases, here and there, where the argument could be made---but by and large, no. On the other hand, I could see where an Evangelical might come to the conclusion that teaching the capacity for critical thought is tantamount to, "Indoctrination," though I am not claiming that applies to DoubleGold as I wouldn't know or care.

From what I can tell, most of them don't teach that Columbus discovered the Americas anymore. Of course, we were taught that in, I think, third grade. That assertion was later corrected. 1k per month to the homeless? Not that I agree with the money, but you really can't point to a homeless problem in a major city and say, "Wow! What a $4!+hole," and then take issue with them trying to get some of the homeless off the streets. If the tax base is there to support it, then go right ahead. If the people and businesses all leave as a result, then there will no longer be a tax base there to support it. Who am I to tell a city what to do or not do about their homeless problem if I don't live there and am unaffected? "War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen..let us give them all they want."

I'm a capitalist. I agree. This issue is the buying power of each citizen. So absolute wages can continue to rise over time, but a citizen's buying power is reduced. So remove the central bank since they're the ones causing our buying power to be reduced. Then there should be enough money for workers to foot the education bill. |

There are so many problems with what you said I have no idea where to start. I'm not categorically defending the Fed or saying there aren't alternatives to the Fed, but the causal chain that you are assuming would lead to events after that ONE change...um...let's just say you're assuming a lot and I'm also not sure specifically what you are assuming...but it is definitely a great many things that I'm unsure have a logical connection to the Fed to the extent you seem to think they do.

Pure capitalism is also a problem for education, unless you think poor people should only get the education they can afford. And yet, capitalism works fine for many things, except for the things it doesn't. You can't seem to see that. "Trumpsplain (def.) explaining absolute nonsense said by TRUMP. |
