    You’re right, few people think this was okay these days. The arguments I’m talking about apply to the cultural conditions of the 1970s, when people did think this was okay.

    A school can teach numbers and letters, and those are part of reality, but cultural values are more slippery, and they’re also part of consensus reality. The reason that racists in the government kidnapped children is for total cultural immersion, and the eradication of indigenous reality.
