you do know that "indoctrinating" is not a positive thing to do?

That's just a word. They are parenting and looking after their kids welfare as best they can.

Sure it is. We get indoctrinated that murder & rape are bad, that eating vegetables is good, that you should brush your teeth, that the scientific method is a good approach for discovery, etc. Raising children is an exercise in indoctrinating them; no one (typically) objects.

To be a good parent is to sacrifice your child's future like a pawn to save the queen of your own moral grandstanding.
We have been actively indoctrinating our kids with the idea that college is not the be-all-end-all, that they should NOT apply for Ivy schools, 3rd tier schools are very good and if they want to go abroad or even eschew college altogether, we will support them. I've seen the effects that college admissions have on kids, especially in schools like Gunn and Palo Alto high in the Bay Area. Children committing suicide because they screw up a test is disgusting.
There is NO WAY I'm letting my kids go through that mental hell. And from some of the TikTok videos I've seen, you can dedicate your entire life to having a top application (sports, grades, extra curricular activities) and still get completely rejected by all Tier 1 schools. I won't allow my children to go through that just to be subjected to the whims of a racist, capricious admissions board.
