Elaborate on how schools are nothing more than "liberal" indoctrination clinics? Please, educate us.

Peace

This is brainwashing causing brainwashing. Seeing little kids sing happy songs tells your subconscious mind the same thing the commercials for everyday things do.
"You need this"
"You are inferior without this" and
"Everyone else is doing it"
The only difference is he paid some scum to get a kid to sing on camera and she will probably remember it the rest of her life.

This is probably best suited for another thread, as it's not the intent of the OP.

However, I believe they are because by and large I find educators (especially at the college level) to be liberals. I went through 5 years of college at 2 different universities and never had a single conservative or even moderate professor.

We were taught about the evils of Bush and his cronies. We were taught that liberalism was the way to "world peace" (whatever that is). The times I did speak out against these things, I was quickly humiliated and ridiculed by my professors and peers. I even failed my political science class for writing a paper denouncing liberalism.

Mine is not an isolated case either.

That's all I'll say in this thread so as not to derail the topic at hand.

......

Then you probably shouldn't have mentioned it in this thread.

I agree, let's stay on topic.

Peace

I HIGHLY doubt that children at their age would develop an interest in politics, especially all in one school, without a strong influence from the parents.

exactly. you know what else kids wouldn't develop an interest in, if it weren't for parents?

- hygiene
- sharing
- language
- math
- culture
- etc.

for example, children that grow up in a household that is ignorant to politics - will be ignorant. Whether it's indoctrination or just open-ended education, either is preferable to ignorance. Call me naive, but I would rather have brainwashed society than a brainless society.

Are you serious? Are you trying to make a point?

How about adding every other conceivable subject to that list of interests, "if it weren't for parents"....

Hygiene - a necessary part of survival
Sharing - a necessary part of survival in a community
Politics - Ugh, yeah not that important
Language – pretty important, goes without saying
Math – the fundamental rule of the universe
Breathing
Eating

Politics is not in the top 10 list of important things to teach to kids. Children don't need to know about politics - they do that when they're teenagers.

You're naive. The society is being brainwashed to be brainless.

Myself and my siblings were braught up without politics or religion, I consider myself a very lucky dude. I will admit to have been called ignorant but that was by my ex wife who I choose to ignore.

It is true what you say "children who are braught up in ignorance of politics will be ignorant" that is, they will be ignorant of what their not informed of .
This is a far cry from being indoctrinated with the views and beliefs of others in relation to a political mind set.

I take it that you had no objections to small children singing the virtues of of the Aryan master race?

Given that you seem to relish a society of brainwashed children, are we to assume your either a Catholic Priest or a Scientologist ?

I was using a bit of a hyperbole with that list, since this thread is obviously an exaggeration as well. These kids are singing a song about Barack Obama, and you are calling it "Brainwashing a its best," as if this song were a fraction as influential as the rest of the crap pushed into their soft skulls at that age.

My point is that, i find it amusing that you consider an active interest (no matter how superficial or imposed), within the context of children smiling and singing, as some sort of horrendous offense, and a glaring example of brainwashing.

Please, spare us the alarmist tone.

Where's your outrage over this?
