Oddbean new post about login | logout was kind of just talking about this with a friend of mine who has a seventh month year old kid.
I feel so bad for the youth. I look back and wonder what I could have become without the indoctrination.
Yeah, it took me a long time to unlearn a lot of really bad ideas.

7-month-year-old kid. Wow, that was a dumb ass sentence. But you get the point. Kids young, not in school yet. And he's genuinely worried about sending him to public school. and wants to be able to pass on his own ideals of freedom. Yet feels like almost the entire world is against him.
20-40 years ago, I'd suggest Catholic school if home schooling was not a viable option. But I don't know what that's like these days.
I went to military school and I remember they required us to satisfy mind, body, and spirit. That entailed having a religious practice, sports, and academics/ military protocols ; as well as having a mentor. I would do it over if I had the chance it was wonderful.
Military is also a good option IMO. Our family did Catholic schools. And mini me went to one too. I think better then public schools. But definitely a lesser quality then when my sisters and I went. We had a class called penmanship. Seems like an insignificant thing. But it's not.
I genuinely don't see how anything religious based helps you avoid indoctrination, but that's just me.
I think it's more finding a balance within your spiritual realm. More than religious doctrine.
I probably would've graduated with higher rank if I hadn't questioned my authority as many times as I did. And Harbor new cadets in my room.
