It's happening everywhere—people no longer can help themselves in professional situations. They must tell us what to think, rather than help (or teach us) how to think.

For example, I don't remember any overt politics at high school, but ours feeds our kid a steady diet. Entertainment is another area of concern.

In my K-12 public school years, the propaganda was just a dab. The schools were well-meaning and at least tried to educate us.

These days, though, the social engineering seems front and center.
