IndoctriNation: Public Schools and the Decline of Christianity in America

A review by Lee Duigon

Don't get the idea that this is nothing but a diatribe against public education. IndoctriNation is an artistic piece of film-making-as it has to be, to put its point across. Gunn and Fernandez know how to use their camera to good effect; and there are dashes of humor to keep the script from getting too gloomy. In the background runs an understated musical score that subtly enhances the film's impact.

It's always easy to lose one's temper when discussing the innumerable sins of public education. It is controlled, top to bottom, by extreme secularists who hate Christianity and purposefully do everything in their power to alienate young people from their faith and from their families. Having taught in public school myself, I know whereof I speak. If parents could see and hear the things I saw and heard in those schools, they wouldn't believe their own eyes and ears.

But Gunn does not lose his temper, and the tone of IndoctriNation is never shrill or badgering. The tone of this film is best described as "sober."
