The article was written by a person who believers the school system instils a sense of group socialist thought and command obidience in children. He portrays his opinions well.

Portraying his opinion well and manipulation are different things.

Why is it unreliable because of this? If a website offering opinion on christianity as brainwashing is offered up would it also be unreliable garbage in your opinion of does an articles weight depend on its stance? Do only articles that agree with your secular point of view hold water?

It's unreliable because it doesn't show at all that schools brainwash or manipulate. It says, oooh look, your child is going to a government run facility. And they collect school materials! Aha! Manipulation! Disregard the fact that the children are told the school is going to collect the materials, but make it look like the government is taking something important away from them to teach them a lesson.

Christianity is a false belief system to you, but not to others. So to demand they accept your terms isn't debate, its false presumptions and manipulation of information.

If it were true then it wouldn't have to rely on manipulation and brainwashing, would it? And regardless of whether it's true or not, it's relying on manipulation and brainwashing.

More of your personal choice in the matter? Is it really a schools job to tell kids Weed is a bad choice and you shouldn't smoke it? Not that I am giving my opinion on the matter but can you at least admit thats brainwashing. Grabbing kids at an early age to deplore drug use in an attempt to prevent drug use at an older ago.

It's not brainwashing, they're not telling them drugs are evil in the way you expressed. Would you rather the kids only got the impression that drugs are cool? Would you rather they weren't informed about drugs?

There is no answering questions when your assuming that christianity is a false belief system. That's like asking a devout Brooklyn conservative jew his opinion on wether or not making his wife stay inside during her period is oppression. He obviously doesn't share your view on PMS just being a perfectly natural event.

I didn't say that Christianity was false in that quote. I said you have failed to acknowledge that Christianity uses brainwashing, and instead trying to find little examples of how other institutions do as well.
