I asked him where he learned that. He didn’t respond, so I asked him if he learned it at school and he nodded yes. I told my daughter about it but she just said that he is smart enough to arrive at his own conclusions. I just told her that kids at least need to be told both sides of issues.
No matter how objectively intelligent a young child is, he is not informed enough to form an opinion on complex issues. He can only repeat what he's told, just as he (hopefully) repeats math facts and verb conjugations.
Absolutely. The children who are brainwashed to hate in Madrasses also have their own brains, but when presented with only one world view they incorporate that world view. Young minds are impressionable, and need to be protected.
