Anytime conservatives are railing against a straw man like “indoctrination” or similar, you can be sure it’s to mask some insidious stuff that they’re doing.
I would invite you to listen to this podcast my 10 year old listened to by clicking a link provided by his teacher on his county issued Chromebook in his classroom digital bookshelf. At about 17:30 left in the podcast (counts down from 23 minutes)
