I don't see where it is any different than in the past. But in either case, you were making the statement that teaching is not the same as indoctrination, and I showed you proof that it is the same.

Quote:Indoctrination often refers to religious ideas, when you're talking about a religious environment that doesn't let you question or criticize those beliefs. The Latin word for "teach," doctrina is the root of indoctrinate, and originally that's just what it meant. By the 1830s it came to mean the act of forcing ideas and opinions on someone who isn't allowed to question them.
