I agree. My niece was in an honors program, in HS, and now she is in a Masters program for Occupational therapy. I was in what was the forerunner of today's honor's programs. I was in HS in the early 70s and I don't remember much indoctrination. There were teachers who, no doubt, were liberal; but at the time there were also teachers that were member of the "moral majority". Maybe teachers were tolerant of a more liberal view, but we had to justify what we thought and were taught to write cogent papers for and against, with supporting documentation.
But I suspect things have changed. Last year at my HS, two kids wore their Trump T-shirts on picture day and the year book teacher saw fit to edit out the words on the shirts. The parents raised hell, the superintenant allowed the teacher to skate, but the parents sued the school and got a cash settlement. The superintendent then quit.
