Indoctrination

Something that people believe happens at universities even though it doesn't. People are claiming that universities institutionalized indoctrination centers that brainwash students into believing woke ideology. In reality, going to university exposes you to new ideas which in turn teaches you to view the world differently, but that is not the same thing as indoctrination.
Person 1: That girl went to Portland State University and has been through a bunch of woke indoctrination. She now believes that man made climate change is real, trans women are women, and that there are more than two genders.
Person 2: I'm sorry, but all those things she believes are right. Humans are absolutely the cause of climate change, and your biology does not determine your gender

Indoctrination Camp 

A place a human-being is sent against their will to receive a washing of the brain, so as to stamp out independent thought and deep contemplation associated with meta-cognition and philosophy. An indoctrination camp will relentlessly smash into the brain of unsuspecting children ideas such as Germ Theory, Theory of Evolution, Dinosaurs, Helio-centrism etc, etc.
Sheep: Gonna send my little Johnny to the indoctrination camps so he can get his PHD and continue to push the absurdities of the modern world into the next generations.
Sarah: Are you stupid?

Indoctrination of mindless conformity 

Indoctrination with the sole purpose of getting people to mindlessly conform (i.e without asking too many intellectual questions) to your way of thinking
The purpose of modern of modern education isn't just propaganda by itself, it's indoctrination of mindless conformity, no questions asked

government indoctrination center 

A public school. Used by advocates of homeschooling and school choice, and also advocates of extremely limited government, because these people believe that government-funded schools much necessarily be overtly favourable to government and unnecessarily unfavourable toward the private sector.
Yes you will have to pay the full cost of your child's education while continuing to pay the taxes that support government indoctrination centers, but the tradeoff is worth it.

The faster we close down government indoctrination centers, the more likely we can still restore America.

If you spend twelve to sixteen years in government indoctrination centers learning that government has the role, responsibility and authority to oversee all relationships and organizations, you naturally assume that includes the church and the family.

Religious indoctrination abuse 

A form of child exploitation used by religious groups that know that no sane adult would choose to join their pedophile cult and supremacy group to physiologically abuse impressionable children to the point of mental illness(religious trauma syndrome) so they grow up with no critical thinking ability and are unable to make their own decisions or form an identity without the constant fear of god shutting down their thoughts and instincts.
As one of Satan's chosen ones, I will continue to fight for the recognition and criminalization of religious indoctrination abuse to save western society from the biggest form of child abuse in the world.
