Bishop Jose Sanchez Gonzalez of Siguenza-Guadalajara in Spain said this week the greatest danger and most important reason for rejecting the controversial school course Education for Citizenship is the Socialist government’s intention to use the course for indoctrinating children and young people.
The experience of the State as the “educator of the people,” with popular titles such as “big brother” and the “Führer” “couldn’t be more ominous.” This has always been the temptation of every totalitarian or one-party state. The result tends to be indoctrination, the bishops said.
