But if that's where you want to go, you strawmanned me as well. The issue was with "indoctrinating" not "teaching".
Whatever gets you though the night, cupcake.
Let's be clear what you were advocating: substituting *your* preference for what parents out to teach their children for what they believe is correct. Call it whatever you like, but that's what it boils down to.
Is that mischaracterizing what you said?
Yeah, it is. Teach is misleading. I was referring to indoctrinating, which I consider to be a way of imposing one's thoughts on others because they're not letting them think critically about these matters.
By the way, was the cupcake comment necessary?
