Our local school had one of the radicals as a science teacher in the late 90s and our daughter was not getting anything but the indoctrination treatment. The parents of a number of students had a meeting with the principal and the teacher. She got fired.
“I was a victim of government indoctrination”;
I remember as young man, my father sort of suggested that I join the military, as I was aimless and shiftless.
Of course being so much smarter than the old man, my reply was something to the effect that they “brainwash” people, and therefore such a move was unthinkable. Part of the problem is the disconnect most people have with respect to the military — their views are shaped by hollywood and academia, in recent decades hardly supportive in any way of the military.
What I discovered is that “brainwashing” and political indoctrination is absent in modern military training and careers, but conversely the average civilian is bombarded daily with a level of nonsense and self-destructive ideology that is truly breathtaking.
