Ok, if you say so.

Stunning admission.

Imparting any kind of knowledge or thought to children can be considered indoctrination.

From moon landings and flat earth, religion,to teaching kids not to be racist.

Someone is going to complain and call it indoctrination.

Just because the law changed, doesn’t mean people stopped discriminating. They just changed their tactics to stay within the law.

People didn’t just go, “gee my bad for being racist, let me help you out now”

Wow. And they are still doing that? They need to stop that, whether people claim it’s CRT or not.

Isn’t it?

And the law changed again. Law doesn’t “stop” anything. It provides a mechanism for punishment.

How do you think you’re going to stop people from feeling? From discriminating? You discriminate.

Is that the requirement?

People just use the word indoctrination to mean impart values I don’t like.

What’s the line between indoctrination and education?

When does a parent teaching a kid their values cross the line and become indoctrination?

Yup, it’s the paradox of tolerance. In order for tolerance to be had, one must be intolerant of the intolerant.

Depends on what the goal is. Is the goal simply to wipe ones hands clean, and say, cool we are equal now?

Or is the goal to help their fellow man after they have been oppressed for centuries?

Go after the children? So that is what the big CRT indoctrination plan is?

Parents have every right to teach their children the values they believe in.
You do not have the right to force your values on other people’s children.

:person_shrugging: I don’t know much of crt or ct, and don’t have the time for research.

When you send your child to private or public school, it is done with the knowledge that they will be exposed to and taught various values, ideas, events, etc.

If someone wants to only teach their own values, then homeschooling is an option.

I don’t.

Beliefs. The agenda.

Never, they are the parents. They have a right to indoctrinate. When you start comparing the state to parents, you are on the wrong path.

Atta Herbert!

My fellow men have not been oppressed. Those who were oppressed are not living in poverty or using that oppression as an excuse for not performing and to demand an unlevel playing field so they don’t have to compete.

I want you to tell me how you are oppressed. What opportunities do you not have because of your race?

Herbert Marcuse - repressive tolerance.

Of course.

Of course. Exposed to, not indoctrinated in.

It’s not about me… I’m just one person. My anecdote is not proof that oppression does or does not exist. Can’t believe I have to say this to an adult.

Nah, I was referencing Popper. Googling it, his thoughts on tolerance predates Marcuse by 20 years.

Are you not? I mention teaching values to children, and you mention indoctrination.

Beliefs? So when certain values are taught, that’s education, others is indoctrination?. I don’t know what you mean by “the agenda”.

The cats out of the bag on that one. Parents have relegated quite a bit to teachers. From education, to discipline, to instilling certain values.

It’s all about how much of a role should teachers play now.

Is the paradox wrong?

Life is not a level playing field. Legally, sure, everyone follows the same rules. But through circumstances of birth, or sheer luck, life is not and will never be a level playing field.

Bringing this back to race, and historical oppression. The laws were changed, but the circumstances of the oppressed were not. The playing field was not made level.

Certain people got a headstart due to the rules. The rules get changed in the middle. Sure everyone plays by the same rules now, but you can’t deny the head start existed, or that certain people need to catch up now after all the disadvantages they were given.
