Reply #58: "brainwashing" makes this a completely loaded question. [View All]

i think it might be more apporpriate to ask "is it ok for parents to pass on their world view to their children?"

i think passing on beleifs and practices that encourage ignorance and intolerance are detrimental to a peaceful society. Specifying whose beliefs fall into this category is a daunting task since religions have sects and sects have churches and churches have parents and parents are individuals so there is a lot of wiggle room there. a lot of room for diversity. all with different degrees of world view shaping for the little ones.

if my parents tried to brainwash me it didn't work so well.
