1. Recognize the indoctrination. Identify where instruction crosses the line from presenting ideas to requiring students to accept them. Look for suppressed alternatives, loaded questions, ideological assumptions presented as facts, and penalties for disagreement.
2. Interrupt the indoctrination. Restore intellectual competition in the classroom. Require teachers to distinguish facts from interpretations, present serious competing arguments, and allow students to challenge conclusions without fear of punishment.
3. Teach HOW to think. This is the lasting solution. Teach logic, evidence, causal reasoning, the scientific method, and the difference between an assertion and a demonstrated fact. Give students the tools to recognize manipulation, including manipulation by people whose conclusions they happen to favor.
Todays teachers are reluctant to focus on the Stalin Years. In hopes those atrocities via communism will and now are fading for todays youth! Planned Obsolence. Makes it very easy for Leftist to convince the unread/ignorance to fall victim! Well diguised treason?
The teachers are evidently taught in teaching schools to teach this way. Not sure it is a conspiracy. But there are a lot of people simultaneously moving in the same direction. Another case where our free speech ideals work against us. They are hacking free speech to push an agenda. Doing a good job of it, too. Bottom Line: An educational system established to teach young people how to think can become a mechanism for teaching them what to think.

Group think will eventually lose to Free Will. The question this time is,how long will this sane reasoning take?
