Only a couple of weeks after professional fabulist Andrew Breitbart kicked off his campaign to "go after the teachers," things are getting silly.

Today, Kyle Olson -- head of something called the Education Action Group Foundation -- published a video on Big Government which he claimed exposed a group of socialist school teachers plotting how best to “subtly fill [young minds] with Marxist and radical ideas.”

Here's one of the “radicals” in the video laying out their spooky brainwaishing plot:

But I do think that wherever you possibly can, part of it is actually just allowing for room for critical thought in the classroom and allowing for students to think for themselves, talk about issues wherever possible, to bring in history and you know, radicals from the past and fight for that kind of thing. And I think there is space to do that.

So in Olson's view, “allowing for room for critical thought in the classroom” and “allowing for students to think for themselves” is indoctrination.

Breitbart and his followers can claim that his anti-teacher campaign is all about battling indoctrination, but really it's about the opposite. No wonder Olson finds “allowing for room for critical thought” to be such a malevolent concept. Critical thought demands hearing out opposing views, and opposing views are one thing Big Government would apparently prefer to keep out of American classrooms.

So who's pro-indoctrinating children again? The socialist who's for “allowing for students to think for themselves [and] to talk about issues,” or the conservative who seems to think being a socialist is an automatic disqualification for teaching any subject?
