”Liberals are indoctrinated!”

Why is any information that contradicts the conservative world view automatically called “liberal indoctrination through education”?

The world of academics has always been in flux and in conflict with the more conservative and established ways of understanding reality. We keep learning new things from heliocentricity to sexuality to evolution to… Just because a conservative doesn’t agree with new information doesn’t mean something nefarious is at work. Academics are always looking for more and better information, whereas conservatism is deeply rooted in tradition.

Altering education due to perceived indoctrination is what’s going to lead to actual indoctrination. If conservatives want education to be more “patriotic”, then they’re pro-indoctrination. They just want to make sure their indoctrination justifies and validates the way they believe and think.

The only path to national unity is through our shared identity as Americans. That is why it is so urgent that we finally restore patriotic education to our schools. Under our leadership, the National Endowment for the Humanities has awarded a grant to support the development of a pro-American curriculum that celebrates the truth about our nation’s great history.

And we don't want to stifle anything. We certainly don't want to stifle free speech, but that's no longer free speech. See, I don't think that the mainstream media is free speech either because it's so crooked. It's so dishonest. So to me, free speech is not when you see something good and then you purposely write bad. To me, that's a very dangerous speech, and you become angry at it. But that's not free speech.

@Graylight Also a 1st amendment violation... but who cares about what is actually in the constitution when you can build up an entire movement that is protecting a document that they never read.
