Having young sons must be so terrifying for parents ngl. It breaks my heart seeing how easily young preteen boys are roped into a alt-right pipeline that feeds them incel ideologies before they even get a chance to grown and develop their own opinions

Seriously one of my biggest fears if/when I become a parent. Fortunately I was able to break out of that pipeline but I’ve lost a few friends who grew up to be genuinely really racist and misogynistic people

Same can be said for educators indoctrinating kids with liberal ideals

I think there’s a big difference between “boys being boys” and young boys being taught that “feminists need to get destroyed” and that “alpha men don’t cry” and it’s cool to be aggressive and rude and patriarchal and what not. I’m not trying to shame boys, I’m just saying social media and online algorithms target young boys and push them into right wing ideology that can be both harmful for themselves and can lead to negative outcomes for the society around

Idk how many educators are “indoctrinating” anyone…I fear it’s often just that more globalized knowledge and critical thinking skills can lead to young students just naturally questioning things around them and in a heavily conservative environment, questioning of the norms can come off as “liberal”

I personally graduated from a very “liberal” college so to say (Berkeley) and yet even still, no professor EVER forced any beliefs or ideas on us. We’d discuss complex topics based on the evidence that exists and we were always encouraged to come to our own conclusions and argue what we believed in. We’d have class discussions and it was always really common for multiple people to have multiple different perspectives and opinions that they each argued for.
