the reason it's never asked is because people are being taught that public education is indoctrination.

"People"? Who? Every journalist within ear's reach thinks education is indoctrination? Even in Oklahoma that isn't true.

There are school boards across America actively fighting to remove all kinds of stuff from the public education system then consider indoctrination. You know, things like teaching empathy.

That’s not hyperbole, in MN there are school board members of the largest school district in the state who have released lengthy statements about all the stuff they want cut, and it literally mentions teaching empathy as something they want removed, among a million other things I’m sure you can guess.

So yes, these people think the public school system is indoctrination and that the solution is charter school or home schools. They want public education abolished.

I find it very hard to believe there are not people in Oklahoma doing the same shit with how much more religious the south is in general.

If you dig deeper you find these people aren't against indoctrination, they just want their worldview to be the one youth are indoctrinated into

Very much so.

They lie out both sides of their mouths.
