Sunday School February 5th 2023 in the forum Sunday School 4 hours, 11 minutes agoIt’s arguably indoctrination to try to force people to agree with one’s views. Teaching is not the same as indoctrination. DeSantis is just being a jerk.
Can you please give me an example of people being forced to agree with something in school? As in, if they do not say “okay I agree with that ideologically” they will be punished?

Sunday School February 5th 2023 in the forum Sunday School 5 hours, 51 minutes agoWhat indoctrination? This is the whole point.
I’m not saying this “controversial” college is trying to indoctrinate people. As far as I know, they’re tackling the subjects in a sober and serious academic manner with any amount of free thinking allowed. I don’t know any different. But wokeness has a reputatio…

Unseen,
Yes, The Roman Catholic Church was and is more receptive to Aristote’s Syllogistic Reasoning, but only as “The Handmaiden of Theology,” not as an means of independently discovering truth when combined with the evidence of the senses.
The Church via St. Thomas Aquinas also cribbed Aristotle’s college try known as The Five Proofs for God,…[Read more]

Unseen,
I would not be surprised at all if the Reds in China were using it to gauge our response in order to plan the next move. Media in Red China has chatter laughing at us for being floundered by a balloon.
If we had any kind of valid National Defense, we would have scrambled, shot down, and recovered this thing the moment it reached the…[Read more]

Or that “war should be avoided if possible” is indoctrination. In fact, you could argue that teaching anything you disagree with or at least, is even mildly progressive or controversial, is indoctrination. I fail to see what…[Read more]

Sunday School February 5th 2023 in the forum Sunday School 12 hours, 31 minutes agoBut the woke people have given a gift to the reactionary Right, by actually trying to indoctrinate students – to try to force them to believe certain ideas. “Progressives” trying to force the issue and trying to indoctrinate people gives people like DeSantis a “semi”. It’s like all his birthdays and Christmases came at once.
