ryannaughton1138: Your friends aren't being brainwashed. They're just getting an education about trying to understand how society works. There is nothing wrong that.
No this has nothing to do with education; education is giving peoples "tools" to use for their futures; including tools they can use to think by themselves and make their own decision and own opinions on things. Telling peoples what to think, what to believe, telling them that, not only it's ok to put their hand over their ears and refuse to even hear any contradictory arguments but also that they should actively shun those having those dissident opinions and discourage others from hearing them.
Telling them that free speech is only valid as long as it doesn't trigger, offend, micro-aggressionize, make fun or criticize any real or invented minority.
Telling them that if they don't belong to a certain race and or gender then their opinion matter less and they should never dare to contradict those who don't have the same so called "privileges" some decided they have, telling them that's it's ok, and even a good thing, to be a racist and intolerant bigot as long as it's against, again, the "privileged ones". (privileges determined mostly by race and gender)
All of this has nothing to with education, it's just plain old Indoctrination, and there is nothing "progressive" about it either, it has been done my most religions, sects, etc... since the beginning of time.
