Look what I'm bringing to your house.
If you only meant your statement in a relative sense, then ok, but the reference I made to China is apropos. The first step to indoctrinating people to a new way of thinking is to get them to reject their history and heritage. If you discard all of your nation's history as "racism", "sexism", or some other bigotry, then something else must fill that hole. The Cultural Revolution did this to get people to convert to Maoism. We're seeing the same process now to get people to join the church of Wokeness.

Horatio Alger narratives are fiction
No one just moved upward based upon hard work and achievement, you should be old enough and seen enough of life to know that ain't true. None of us on this forum started out with "next to nothing except a million dollar loan from my father"
One can work hard, do all that is expected, achieve, but still, a lot of it is luck, and if you were born black, you already start life with a major hurdle to overcome
More likely more like one of these

Note the Bill of Rights in that one in particular
or maybe this one:

Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.

No one is "indoctrinating people to a new way of thinking is to get them to reject their history and heritage," most already knew it, but rather recognizing that it wasn't perfect, that all those individuals with statues and monuments weren't flawless
And you are incorrect on China, the Cultural Revolution was all about Mao trying to kill the emerging middle class while reinstalling what he saw as the revolutionary spirit
