Government schools are brainwashing, not education. I know they didn't teach my stepson a damn thing. I taught him how to read and write and to mathematics.Education is good. Conservatives don't think education is brainwashing. Leftists think that brainwashing is education. Critical Race Theory certainly qualifies as brainwashing.A quick short read that nails it. Conservatives think education is brainwashing when in fact education gives one the tools to freely reject poorly supported arguments and bad logic.
There is no mystery why conservatives find education dangerous. A 2015 Pew Research Center study quantified that the better educated one is, the more likely one is to hold liberal beliefs. But Iād argue, contrary to what conservatives seem to feel, thatās not because of bullying professors shouting left-wing dogma. Rather, itās because once you learn how to think, youāre less susceptible to thin reasoning and easy answers. And increasingly, thatās all conservatismās got.
