Who is Indoctrinating Whom?
A form of hypocrisy is what it is. Have you ever accused someone of doing something while you were actually engaging in the very thing you were charging? Over the past year, the far-right has accused educators, Democrats, and others of "indoctrination" regarding Critical Race Theory (CRT), gender identity, and diversity in the classroom. Indoctrination is defined as the process of teaching a person or group to accept a set of ideas, beliefs, and values. Humph, this is interesting because there have been attempts to condition or brainwash Black people into believing that we are inferior since being brought to America. So, these recent accusations of indoctrination regarding racism are like the pot calling the kettle black.
