[REAL TALK] Were we indoctrinated as kids?

[Boxfan83]

I know the current state of education really has many of us in an uproar but were many of us (35yo+) indoctrinated?

The birthrate in the USA is on a big decline and I cant help but think back about being in Jr. High and High School. College, Career, and Contraception were really being pushed during those times.

Now there are people my age and older trying to have kids after they wasted their fertile years with college parties, being permiscouis, and paying debts.

I remember being a teen Dad and people (family, friends, and acquaintances) acting like I ruined my life lol!

Anyways, I think the traditional family unit has been under attack long before all this h0m0 stuff made its way into schools. STD rates are high, birth rates are low, women prefer careers over maternity, and men have Low T.

Thoughts?

dismantling the traditional family structure has been a goal of the system some time, the state wants to be your parent and tell you whats right or wrong and they can do that in schools, what they cant do is control what goes on inside of a house and the conversations that take place... when you really think about it you will realise a lot of initiatives are all about making kids lose respect for their parents and to reduce the influence that they have

Did you know most kids and young adults strive to be a Social Media influencer these days more than any other traditional career?

Not acting like im a perfect parent (because Im not) but Ive been very strict about keeping Social Media away from my kids.

My oldest (20yo) was talking to his recruiter and she asked him, "where do you see yourself in 10yrs?" His answer, "owning a home and having a family." She was really drawn back by his answer...

When education departments and school boards decide to make cuts, the first thing to go is the sports teams, field trips and the arts. Cities and states have money to spend on CRT, paying drag queens to read stories to children, teaching kids in 3rd grade about gay **** sex, because to them all of these things are more important than the lessons learned in winning and losing in team sports which develop bodies and minds for healthy competition, sportsmanship, and the payoff that comes from personal sacrifice. There were winners and losers, no 9th place participation trophies. They don't see the value in shop classes that teach students valuable skills they can apply to basic car repairs, learning how to use tools, how to cook, sew, or the arts where students can explore their creative side in music, photography, sketching, sculpting, etc. All of these things help build self-esteem and a sense of independence and accomplishment.

Everything being taught in schools is rooted in negativity now. My daughter took an elective in high school that was supposed to be about Asian Culture. We thought the course would introduce some of the cultural contributions and history of different countries within the Asian continent. Instead, it was all about how Asians were victims of racism when they got here. Some of the assignments included a news story from the early 80's where an Asian guy was murdered by some evil white guys at a bar. The entire tone and content of the course was negativity and had nothing to do with actual Asian culture.

The indoctrination that we faced for the over 35 demographic was more about pushing us towards college rather than exploring what we really wanted to do as a profession. It was go to college or else you'll amount to nothing. Very little encouragement for the trades, starting a business, or military. There was also an element of laziness to our curriculum. Passing down the same old course requirements "just because", while teaching courses most of us would never use in our lives such as algebra, geometry, physics, chemistry, Latin, French or German languages, which all came with higher rates of failing grades. Not everyone was going to be a doctor, but they led us to believe that we could. Sorry, but most students will not go on to become highly educated professionals or astronauts--but they sold us that bill of goods that you could be anything you want to be.

i bet it was easy to get a top mark on that subject at least, blurt out some BS about white supremacy and the dangers of the far right, link in the patriarchy somehow and put a message of solidarity with the black community...

Yes, we were indoctrinated as kids. In my childhood the indoctrination was toward being patriotic, being a positive force in life, and that the American way of life was the best way. Citizens of other nations probably were getting their version of the same. The indoctrination of today is to accept what is not natural in nature and that perversion is okay. Today people are being encouraged to tear each other down, not build one another up.

[ProblemChild_JakePaul]

Isn't everybody?

It's just a matter of who is in charge and how much good or bad faith is involved in it.

Hence the creation of Alexa and such.

Of course we were. At least in school, they try to indoctrinate us. It's all about teaching us mostly BS. At least after grade school anyway. Math you only need to know basic arithmetic, unless you're getting into a technical career. The rest of us just need more gym class because, as Bill Burr said, we'll be the ones working for the people that design those buildings. What they should be teaching us is how the government really works. How they manipulate us and how to outsmart them. What they're really saying. Things like rhetoric, critical thinking. But they make us wait until college to take those classes. They make you have to pay for that, when that should be free. They should also teach you the banking system. How to figure out a mortgage and finances. Not what x equals. But how to pay down that principle as quickly as possible, so you don't owe anyone anything. Oh and how to fight the system so that all these BS laws get changed to ones that, you know, actually make more sense. Then maybe, the system will work for us, instead of against us. And the 1% elites won't be the ones with all the power.
