It is uncanny how many times Republicans make a charge and then it is revealed that they are the ones actually guilty of what they are accusing others of.
"Florida has led the way, but other states are following suit, introducing “Don’t Say Gay” bills that unfortunately make children’s needs second to culture war politics. It is time for school policies to focus on the needs of the children. Children are the ones who will pay the price for such laws. As a researcher (Carter) and a former public school teacher (Jill), we are deeply concerned about the negative impact on children. To date, at least 10 states have passed similar pieces of legislation into law[1] (some before Florida), and seven of those states are considering additional measures to further target LGBTQ youth expression. Likewise, 11 other states are currently considering legislation like Florida’s.[2]"
“Don’t Say Gay” Laws Are a Threat to the Health and Education of Children
Republicans often claim that public schools are performing 'indoctrination' because they are teaching students about our actual world and not the fantasy one they envision.
So they start banning books and limiting free speech to mold schools into indoctrination centers for Republican ideology. Can't have kids even knowing that there are LBGTQ people in the world, nor that some of their classmates might have different families besides a female mother and a male father. These variations from vanilla family structure are not to be mentioned.
And while they are at it, they only want white washed history lessons. Exclude all of the troubling stuff about our racist past. Racism must be treated like it doesn't even exist, nor did it ever! The fear seems to be that once aware of such a stinky history the next generation might actually learn from our past mistakes and racism would no longer be such a vote-getter for Republicans. Good people hold racism in disgust. Not these people. They won't even admit they are keeping racism alive.
To attack children with their culture war politics is despicable. Republicans once had scruples, claimed to be the party of morality and ethics. Those days are over. We don't hear that any more. Trump dispensed with that. Now, they have no shame and nothing is off limits.
Truly deplorable.

There are many right wingers on this forum who think universities indoctrinate students.
Fascists hate it when the population is educated

How in the world could the right keep misconceptions and conspiracy theories going if schools taught the truth?
Let's face it. The main thing keeping Republicans in any power at all is hatred.
Take away the disgruntled hatred vote out of every election and Democrats would be winning overwhelmingly.
