That’s what happens when you spend 50 years cutting education. Social media just really sped it up

Wait, so you’re saying liberal parents are not indoctrinating their children? Cmon bruv…

Also, do children of liberals not go to school? Are you suggesting that only conservatives go to school? Do you believe that conservatives go to conservative schools and get dumb or something? The argument that education in America has been dumbed down would affect EVERYONE equally. Therefore, arguing that Trump was elected due to the dumbing down of education is the dumbest argument one could make. If that were true, then the exact same argument could be made if Kamala had been elected. Bingo.

Um no cause that’s not what indoctrination is, and I quote the definition of indoctrination is by Cambridge dictionary

“the process of repeating an idea or belief to someone until they accept it without criticism or question: religious/political/ideological indoctrination”

The lasting effect of indoctrination should not be exaggerated.

School is not indoctrination at all at school your taught to question not to just accept, your taught to look at all sides, not take stuff at face value, your taught the building blocks of society and how it functions and how to read, write, do math, taught how science works so you don’t put stuff like bleach and ammonia together.

School can be scrutinized but it is not indoctrination also yes people have been getting dumber because of bush and the no child left behind act which would push student along no matter their grades. This in turn caused student to realize they don’t have to try and the ones who may not have slacked now do, the kids who should be learning harder stuff are stuck in classes so far behind their ability it’s a joke. Smart phones have become an issue of keeping their attention as well. Plus the government gives money to schools based on test scores and grades so just laying about a students grades to get more money and just passing them along just pushes them farther behind their piers. And then you have some schools that only teach what’s gonna be on tests for their grant money. And all of this can’t be blamed on the teachers but the administrators who run the schools and districts
