The reality is that this "Liberal Indoctrination" Republicans are so terrified of is actually Reverse Indoctrination, teaching young people how to think for themselves so they can and shrug off and break free from the very real literal conservative indoctrination that so many people are forced to grow up with.
This is why conservatives have always been terrified of and fought so hard against education: as I have been saying for so long, conservatism is entirely based on fear, especially fear of the unknown, and the more education a person gets the more they know, and therefore the less they have to be afraid of. Since conservatism depends on that fear, this erosion of unknowns to be afraid of steadily chips away at conservatism, and they know it and it terrifies them.
Republicans and other modern "conservatives" KNOW they are losers. And I don't mean that in some name-calling-on-the-playground sense. They know that in any level playing field contest they will lose.
They know the positions they hold aren't popular. They know that if they have to put their ideas and positions up against the others that are out there in a truthful and open way, that the vast majority of people will oppose them.
Which is why everything they do, everything, is geared toward avoiding being questioned and challenged. Ban books, gerrymander, suppress votes, etc.., etc., etc.
It's all so nobody ever thinks to or is able to challenge them. Because they know, if challenged, they will absolutely lose.
“Not one of these facts is disputable.”
Response from Republicans: “Challenge accepted.”
