Mike Huckster-abee is at it again!

He's got a new program he says is aimed to protect your kids from "indoctrination."

The Kids Guide to Fighting Indoctrination is designed to give your kids the critical thinking skills they need to spot indoctrination and stop it in its tracks, while providing them with the tools to to stand up for their own beliefs.


http://kidsfightback.com/ will teach critical thinking skills? Doesn't he realize that's part of what the GOP is fighting against?

I used to see his ridiculous ads on Facebook all the time. I guess he can't sell cheesy books on weight loss anymore, so now he's targeting kids. A 21st century Flim Flam Man.

and my beliefs have changed significantly from when I was a child - and even from the time I was a young adult. Expecting kids to not expand their horizons is bullsh*t.

talk about indoctrination.

dumping all the crap that was pushed on me as 'the truth' was both a painful and joyful experience.

Still every day I learn new stuff that makes me question positions I hold.

Whenever someone like the Huckster claims he is saving someone from something he is just selling that but trying to put you off the trail.

And they could probably sink even lower than that.

14. It's simple. When a kid hears indoctrination, they just shut their eyes and repeat "Jesus save me!"
