    There’s a lot of indoctrination of children, that’s largely what mandatory education is. But there is pretty clear difference between sexual education and philosophical education. Even if the philosophy is wrong.

      I would say that there is a large difference between the standard shaping-the-narrative indoctrination (which likely is about leaving out details in history class and maybe how certain things are framed) and religious indoctrination (especially if you get into the history of nuns-with-rulers and also treatment of indigenous kids at religious boarding schools that expected conformity).

      Somewhat for that fact I also wouldn’t equate philosophy and religion at all.

        That difference is what I value, and probably what you value, but not really different in being taught several prescribed world views(philosophies). Sexual education of children is not teaching a philosophy- it is to those who support it a preventative health and mental health measure, and to those who oppose it grooming children.
