I don't agree with indoctrination. For those who propose it, can you tell me:
- What can be defined as indoctrination?
- How would you prosecute this felony?
- How would you prove there was indoctrination?
- Where's the line between indoctrination and innocent teachings?
- Will you apply the same principle to indoctrination of political ideologies, morality, economics, etc?
No one said anything about felony. Rather that indoctrination is a shameful thing.
Indoctrinating is not the same as teaching by the way. Indoctrination involves obliging someone to unconditionally accept your views without considering other options.
Teaching morality to your kids is a good thing, but explain to them why you believe something is right or wrong, don't just impose your standards. It would also help to enable them to develop empathy for others with time.
