Educational Indocrination

This organization is dedicated to fighting political and social bias and indocrination in universities.

This organization claims to be non-partisan, dedicated to fighting political and social bias and indocrination in universities. To my surprise surprise, however, I found in sampling some of the postings on their site that a particular "bias" seemed to emerge. hmmmm...

here's a typical sampling:

"The course material contained several slanted selections, most often in the form of political novels penned by prominent Socialists of the era. This material clearly was chosen to promote a specific political agenda. These books were often used to support the professor’s one-sided analysis of labor movement history. A student could not easily bring capitalist arguments into synthetic discussions if the coursework itself denies capitalism as a basic premise."

Maybe we could help them out and share how some of us have experienced bias and indocrination in our university and compulsory educations.

I mean, I think it's an outrage how so many of our young impressionable students are being quietly indocrinated into their roles as unthinking worker drone consumer slaves! This has to be stopped--all those young minds wasted. Who's behind this systemic indocrination? Who benefits from it? Hm.
