quote:There is no separation. For a parent to raise a child, they will indoctrinate them with their way of thinking, purposely or not.
at what point is a child being taught and at what point is he being indoctrinated?
The issue is whether or not the rest of society agrees w/ what they are being taught.
quote:And that system will indoctrinate the children with a specific viewpoint. The only time people don't consider it indoctrination is when they agree w/ what is being taught.
The more frequently I hear about awful parents, the more certain I am that we should have some kind of public school system.
quote:Freedom is neutral. Man is either positive or negative, and that often depends on society's personal opinion at that time.
It's a bizarre place to be. Freedom is sort of incredibly important; it's essential to a truly human life. It also can allow for incredible cruelty and subjugation without ever truly breaking a moral law.
quote:Well, if this is the case, would it not be prudent to continue the practice considering that it does more harm to the YEC cause than good?
I went to a school that taught this sort of nonsense, and it created more atheists than not. It's not effective.

quote:It's a problem. I'm not willing to just believe that parents should make all of the decisions regarding their children. They're humans and are being formed by these other humans as they grow and learn. Being held and indoctrinated at any other time in their lives is horrific. If it's done by parents, it's fine and whatever nonsense the parent wants to make reality for their child is fine.
And that system will indoctrinate the children with a specific viewpoint. The only time people don't consider it indoctrination is when they agree w/ what is being taught.
It's a bizarre view and I don't know what to do with it, but I sort of hate the idea that parents own their children and can do just about anything they like with them, so long as physical abuse doesn't happen.
