Letter: U.S. education should not be indoctrination

Regarding a recent letter (“Keep anti-American ideologies out of school,” Star-Advertiser, Aug. 1): When people write about education and limiting it to one particular viewpoint or excluding independent thinking, it reveals that they do not understand what education is trying to accomplish. American education is not indoctrination. It should be about exposing students to different views. What does “American ideology” cover? Is it teaching that America is the greatest country in the world, but ignoring 400 years of racial discrimination or ignoring how Hawaii became a state?
