The issue for the christofascists isn’t that children are being indoctrinated in school. The issue is the deprogramming of the indoctrination to fear, hate, intolerance, and self-loathing that they get at home from their parents and at church from christofascist leaders.
Schools don’t make people more liberal, exposure to reality makes people more liberal.
These groups lately that have been arguing to “protect their kids from indoctrination” are literally just after one thing. They want SOGI (sexual orientation and gender identity) teaching removed from schools. SOGI just teaches kids that gay people and transgender people exist. That’s it.
SOGI education makes gay and trans kids feel less alone and it makes them feel seen and heard. And it helps to open the eyes of cisgender and/or straight students to the plight of their gay and/or transgender peers. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that and anyone who thinks that’s indoctrination just wants their personal version of religious indoctrination in schools instead.
Don’t believe their lies about “protecting the children”. This is about controlling the children and it’s about gay and trans erasure.
If they were actually interested in protecting children from grooming and abuse they would be protesting churches. This is about the fact that their obsession with LGBTQ makes them feel icky. I mean, how much time do they spend imagining scenarios involving drag queens and children? That’s not normal.
If they actually cared about child indoctrination, they’d be fighting to make churches 18+.
