but you seem to have a problem with teaching people to question accepted norms and think for themselves. That is not brainwashing.

I don't have a problem if it's done in a genuinely objective manner. I am of the belief that in America the slant is towards atheism while in some other places there are religious biases. In Darrylia (my ideal utopian society), there would be some institutions which truly strive to be truly objective, as well as others which have slants in various directions but whose slant is stated up front for all to see.

My problem relates to how far we are from this utopia compared to how close some people think we are, and not to the concepts of free inquiry and objectivity themselves.
