This has got to be my second favorite documentary of all time. Right behind Hillary's America: The Secret History of The Democratic Party. As someone who has gone through the public schools and as someone who has a mother and sister who teach in the public schools, it's hard for me to find the right words to explain to you how accurate this film is. The public school system really does indoctrinate kids.A prime example of this are the riots that occurred after the presidential election. Especially UC Berkeley. Most of the teachers I've experienced are very liberal, and the one's that are conservative don't really want to speak out in fears of receiving disciplinary action. Christian teachers are not allowed to talk about Christ in front of the class, but yet homosexual and other teachers with radical ideologies are allowed to talk freely about their ideologies. They teach evolution as a fact and not a theory, which is what it really is. Now with the whole transgender thing and it's really getting insane. Most of my former teachers would have supported that. I only graduated high school 3 years ago. I would not feel comfortable sharing a locker room or bathroom with a girl who thinks she a guy. It would be awkward.

All the activism and self-education a person can pursue in a dozen lifetimes is trivial so long as we entrust the education of our children to the very machine that is the instrument of our oppression. Colin Gunn offers up a masterwork of reason in his film addressing the issue of public schooling in America. The vision of the film is compelling. The message is clear and concise. The facts are laid bare for the viewer. A staple of excellence in documentary production is to not just bring attention to an issue, but explain in some capacity both how we got into the mess to begin with and what we can do about it. All of this and more is addressed in IndoctriNation as Gunn takes us back to the very roots and foundations of modern public education in America, candidly and objectively examines the fruits of it, analyzes the arguments for and against it--and from *there* moves on to its conclusion. I am yet to see so thorough and compelling a dissection of the plight of modern education in America that simultaneously offers real and tangible solutions to the problem.

All fundamentalisms are authoritarian by nature and by design.The Authoritarian model in democracies:play the victim, use the rights of the open society (freedoms of thought, speech, assembly, religion, and the vote) to gain power, consolidate power, proceed to remove the rights of the open society, eliminate all who oppose, enjoy the privileges afforded elites in your new authoritarian society, for the purposes of show continue to claim your transformed society is a democracy.Quote from Sheldon Adelson casino multi-billionaire who gives tens of millions to conservative politicians:The bible doesn't say anything about democracy.

Why did America's expensive system of government schools produce such low graduation rates? The answer to this question, will also answer the one many will ask a few short years from now; Why did America gladly surrendered her sovereignty to the One World Order. Well, 50 years ago the communists promised to bury America without firing a shot. Their long plan was already fruitful; America was already falling. Long ago they infected our educational system with communist ideals, and used our courts to remove God. Then the products of those communist teachings infected the media - and we were done for. The media sold us a series of socialist and Marxist presidents, and various officials, who simply changed the name of Communism to Liberalism or progressiveism, and we ignorant citizens bought it. Our last breath will be under Obama: Cap and Trade, Card Check, Government takeover of General Motors and Chrysler, Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac, and Nationalized Government run Health Care! All this in less than eight months! What ever happened to the old Socialist Party? It became the modern Democratic Party."Indoctrination" is not about the above. It is about how Robert Owen began the confiscation of our children's minds in Boston, leading to the final destruction of the American educational system which can now neither be repaired nor reformed.
