Unfortunately, you are correct that over the past 40 years, the reading lists of
schools and universities are now COMPLETELY slanted toward the left. You would also be correct that this IS indoctrination, since alternative viewpoints are neither presented, nor allowed. Nor is debate or dissension.
But the problem isn't being presented with material that you don't necessarily cotton to. The problem is the complete viewpoint IMBALANCE and the lack of any kind of dissent, debate, or discussion.
This is probably the most insidious kind of censorship.
But I get your point about what is going on in what passes for education today. It's a complete perversion of the concept education.....:)
It's not indoctrination, if people are given a choice whether or not to read it, regardless of what your opinion of it is, or even what the intent is.
Either it's censorship for none, or censorship for all.
I won't budge on this.
Yeah, lets just get rid of the whole concept of EDUCATION, and just read things we like or agree with....../s
As long as viewpoints are balanced, or debate and dissent over the material is allowed, then it is not indoctrination.
Exposure to works and materials that a person otherwise might not pick up themselves has enlightened many a person, myself included.
A person is ALWAYS free to read what ever else they see fit to read, so long as people that would censor others are kept at bay.

They're not
It's not. There is only one viewpoint allowed, and that viewpoint is "your white ancestors were backward and evil". No dissent allowed.
Unfortunately, that is what education has now turned in to.
We MUST get control back of our universities and Schools.
No election can counteract the leftist indoctrination camps that now parade behind the names of some of our storied universities.
100% agreed!
