This is how a significant portion of the population gets radicalized by their parents. It needs to be shut down.

All kids are indoctrinated. As parents do you want to have control of that or not?

With that attitude you might as well just tell parents that they shouldn't participate in society!

I think the point is that part of having a functioning society (civic life, engagement, tolerance of others) is having people mix together. School is one of the prime places where that happens.

If you allow a lot of people to pull away from that "forced" engagement with others then you start to stress a lot of societal bonds.

Sure, but I don’t like how society is functions. I don’t like the direction in which society is headed.

That is why my solution is to be selective in who I socialize with, find a like-minded partner, and have lots of children.

My intent is to create a new society and culture free of the rot that infects every public space today.
