About This Quote
Indoctrination is not just demeaning to the human conscience, it is lethal for the flourishing psychology of the hungry, young mind. It’s not just a bad thing to do to a child. It may even be a physically and psychologically dangerous thing to do to a child. You can take a smart, well-meaning child and brainwash them into believing you are right and that their own personal opinion doesn’t matter.
Indoctrination makes people susceptible to bad ideas and ideas that may be harmful to themselves or others. If someone is indoctrinated into thinking that they should turn their backs on their own personal beliefs and opinions, they may find it difficult or impossible to think for themselves in the future.
