Not being allowed to wear a Brendan Shanahan jersey to school is a pretty strange example of "indoctrination". What are they trying to indoctrinate you against, cheering for the Red Wings?
You even explained specifically that you aren't allowed to wear the jersey because of the gang affiliation of the colors and numbers. Is that not the real reason and they are just using it as an excuse to cover up the indoctrination?

The premise was how the education system there is counterproductive to the notion of individual growth, when you're so limited in expressing yourself so as to appease paranoid people. Indoctrination has to do with speech codes, telling people how to feel about things, criticizing someone for writing a paper that doesn't agree with a leftist-leaning political philosophy, with nothing to do with how the paper was written, the sources used, or anything academic. It's a rather flagrant double standard, but moreover, perhaps someone who is on the fence and want to avoid this kind of stuff might decide like I did (the second time around) to choose a path straight to the degree through what's negatively regarded by a poster as a "puppy mill". There's plenty of reasons, just giving mine.
