I think I know where conservatives get the idea that other
people are sneaking around trying to indoctrinate children into
unthinking ideologies. It’s because they themselves are totally guilty
of it, both in terms of trying to recruit other people’s children and
trying to frighten their own children about the dangers of exploring
thoughts outside of the ones approved by their own rigid ideologies.
Parents in Portland, Oregon
were alarmed to hear that a group calling
itself the Child Evangelism Fellowship's Good News Club has been
targeting children as young as five for conversion to their form of
Christianity.
The group pretends to be similar to more liberal and open-minded groups,
claiming they are just trying to teach their beliefs but aren’t trying
to be coercive. However, it’s hard to believe, in no small part because
they admit they run around scaring children by telling them they are
“sinners” who are hellbound unless they convert and start trying to
convert others.
