A place to talk about parenting.
Be respectful of others' parenting decisions.

Best advice I can offer is to ask questions whenever you hear something objectionable.
Child: "You like science too much."
You: "Why do you think that?" or "Why do you say that?"
Asking them to explain what they are saying tells you more about what is really going on and can help them to consider why they think that way.
This guy is who I have in mind when talking about this subject. https://youtu.be/9gHmhObfbn4?si=xKaMUCh37q_UOxjo
I agree.
Especially in aparent / child relationship, arguing the points can be futile. You can calmly explain your point of view, but after that it becomes a power struggle.
Asking your kid to examine their beliefs and to treat others with respect is the job as a parent. The indoctrination is likely to backfire.
