Critical Education Vs Doutrination

“Are students unaware or are they simply brainwashed by a conservative government that is quietly but systematically taking away the rights of American citizens under the guise of protecting people from terrorism? Is the government selling the idea of protecting people by taking away rights to which students do not even realize they are entitled?” (Christine Casey)

This is stepping into a very risky zone. How do you protect people from being brainwashed by a conservative government with taking the risk of making those people being brainwashed by a stiffer opposition?’

Because no teacher is totally 'apolitical' and because his convictions are part of who he is, such this type of reflection be part of classrooms? Isn't anti-doutrination a kind of doutrination?
I don’t think that we promote students ability to deeply research and persecute the ‘real true’ just by saying “What you have been told, our reality is a lie, someone is lying to you. Use your freedom and power of expression and found what is hidden because what can be seen is not the truth.”
