Indoctrination: the process of teaching a person (or group) to accept a set of beliefs uncritically.


Background:
Im raising two girls
Both in the public school system

What they believe is truth-
Be it through school, society, social media
Is exhausting to sort through

This was not my grandparents issue
But i see it with my parents, my generation and my children


PLEASE LIST HERE THE LIES I HAVE MISSED
and hopefully this will help someone else too

Disclaimer:
Some might find something offensive here
That’s ok
But i hope to stay away from ideological debates and feelings getting hurt

Thank you all
Any input is appreciated

- sun is damaging
- sugar is bad
- love is love
- social media keeps you connected
- climate change
- fiber is benign
- cancer requires chemo
- drink more water
- avoid pain
- serotonin makes you happy
- thin or lean is better
- movies are made to entertain us
- limit salt
- healthcare cares
- more exercise more health
- microwaves are safe
- eat your salad
- cows milk bad. Nut milk good
- Christmas is a Christian holiday
- Devil ain’t real. Silly…
- justice system brings justice
- people are good
- take your vitamins!
- the Bible isn’t relevant



What are some you believed
That you now know were complete lies?

Indoctrination has been going on for a long time. In America civics has been diluted to nothing. High schools students should understand the basis of common law and the vocabularies of the law, know standards like Restatement of Contracts...

People like Lyndon LaRouche worked on reviving Classical Education, for adults and children is monumental

Hello, you have discovered that people being good is a lie, and that people are evil ?

For things like the Bible and religion you need to go back in time to have a chance at seeing indoctrination in action.

For judging what's acceptable now and what you learn as a child is in itself a product of indoctrination.

But it is clear from the many examples in this forum, it is a self discovery issue that no one can do for others, experience is not transmitted by words and knowledge is not understanding.

Agree

I don’t teach, or preach or even tell my children what to believe

I live it
I listen
And we talk and laugh

But lately
I’ve been somewhat overwhelmed
Not emotionally but cognitively
With where i see this all headed….
I have my days….

I wouldn't say I believed these but I'll add to the list

"Circumcision is necessary and more hygienic"
"Make sure your children get their shots"
"Leave the room and Let your infant cry it out"
"Homeschool kids are weird"
"Fluoride is good for your teeth and should be kept in the water supply"
"Aluminum cookware is safe"

Tell them that feminism is about lowering wages by doubling the workforce and then doubling the number of tax payers.
