Indoctrination

"How come that we learn nothing useful at schools?"

Some conspiracy theorists are convinced that our school system serves only the secret elites – they believe its goal is to indoctrinate us from a young age (and therefore more effectively) to become uncritical consumers and obedient workers. That’s why our children would learn nothing but ‘bullshit’ in public schools and universities.
However, this theory doesn’t reveal any hidden truths about the education system. Instead, it exposes the theorists’ distorted worldview and paranoia. If we take them at their word, we even might feel some pity for them – after all, they’re just ‘victims’ of our indoctrination.
