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 reputation for bullying and authoritarianism.  It has this track record.  They try to force people to agree with them.  That’s the indoctrination I’m talking about.

So, if deSantis says that teaching CRT, etc., is indoctrination – people are going to believe him, because it has been forced on people in the past.

This is not indoctrination. Calling it so is just a tactic to maintain the status quo of biggotry.

It’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.

There is a public perception this is the case. That’s not the same as a track record. That said, why do you keep going on about wokeness?

What are you actually talking about?

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?

Hi Noel, I am very well thanks. Maybe we are the collective hive mind that explains the Universe to itself. That it why we can laugh at it 🙂 I hope you are in good form too!
