This may be an unpopular opinion but I've personally noticed that it is almost always the young who get sucked into various cults and have extreme difficulty recognizing the criteria of fascism and totalitarianism as expressed in a modern socieety. I'd like to see the schools briefly introduce the concept starting about age 10 and then every year thereafter go into more depth. So they are more prepared and inculcated against that tendency when they become older teens and young adults.

All totalitarisms and dictatorships are starting from indoctrination of children.

In USSR we had things like "the hero of Pavlik Morozov" and "Pioneer Camps", and majority of propaganda was aimed on kids. Pavlik Morozov was half-made icon, based on real event, but changed to look better, it was young kid who went to thought police and said that "my father is saying bad things about communism and want to fight against it", so father was executed and kid became "communist hero and example for all kids", in some stories father is killing Pavlik right before police came to arrest him. Pioneer Camps is camps where kids are taken for 2-3 months (for full summer) far away from their relatives, and there trained to love communism and communist party.

And same with every authoritarian regime and totalitarism.

This time we have things like Mermaids, who are either indoctrinating kids and teens themselves, or making their parents fear for the health of their kids ("if you don't trans them, they will suicide 100%! You don't want your kid to die? Oh, now your kid is trans, help us to fight for trans rights!"). This time it is even more focused on kids, as gender ideology was created by paedo and is supported by many paedos.

Funny how it's always dressed up as wholesome fun too. Pioneers were just like the scouts... with marching and songs and stuff! (Yeah, and so were the German youth... and today it's rainbows.)

What about parents? Why assume only schools are failing these kids?

In the US, Gender Spectrum, which lives up to its name by going into schools to teach that sex is a spectrum, openly admits that it targets minority children.

In the US, especially in California, where a lot of this gender spectrum type sex education seems to be trialed, 40% speak a different language at home, so the parents might not even know what the children are being taught because they don't speak English. Also they might think it's some kind of American thing and as new proud Americans they don't want to rock the boat.

Absolutely! But parents have a tendency to trust schools and not interfere with teachers, so they allow it to be taught. These things don't necessarily come from school though—it could be tumblr... It's really the parents' job to teach common sense.
