Why not just dismantle/reform google if they are providing biased search results?

His recommendation is immediately actionable without violence. Reforming the system will take ages even if it is possible peacefully, so interim steps will be necessary.

    The curriculum is not something teachers or parents get to decide

    And the curriculum doesn't include any indoctrination, so what's the problem?

    Curriculum not covering the Tulsa race massacre is an accident?

    Possibly? Not sure what you are getting at.

    Just that humans are not perfect and humans are in charge of curriculum. Someone or some group has to decide what is and isn’t taught. They may be doing their best but objectivity is not possible.

    Sure, but is that the same as indoctrination?

    Stripped of its connotation, it definitely is. Any time you teach a child anything it is indoctrination. Religion, moral code, favorite sports team, patriotism, you name it.

    I disagree. "Indoctrination" has a harsher connotation than "teaching".
