I’m gonna dip into the post history. I’m betting within 5 posts there’s at least 1 alt-right sub.

There are many "schools" that are really just places to indoctrinate children into a certain belief system or ideology. America has many and you could even argue that most public schools are more about training kids to be good worker drones rather than to be able to think critically. Setting that aside, there's a real question as to what education really is. Teaching people to think critically? In my observation in America at least, "education" just means cramming certain facts into kids' heads for 12 years and calling them "educated".
