Well done that teacher for speaking out and being concerned about the welfare of her pupils. So there we have it now in MSM - the wholesale undue influence of vulnerable minds plus the dismantling of safeguarding that prevents parents or anyone else being told what is happening. This is cult recruitment and coercive control 101. Love bomb, isolate and indoctrinate, in order to break someone's sense of self.
Unfreezing, Changing, and Refreezing - the process of breaking and taking control of someone's mind. Cult members are trained to be on the lookout for people who are vulnerable because they are easy targets.
Those who are conned or deceived into joining a cult will be put through an unfreezing process.
The basic idea is to distance people from their past, to make their past bad, or evil, or the source of all their problems. Repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition, is very important in indoctrination. It's the same message over and over and over again. In some groups they may sound like different stories, different teachings, but it's always the same basic idea. The cult leaders are basically 'one trick ponies'.
Extreme peer pressure is applied. The old values, old ideas, old beliefs, are criticized and blamed for life's problems, but now new solutions are offered. The message is: Accept the group's ideas, take on the new beliefs and values and everything will be okay. It will all work out the way you want.
People who continue to question or doubt or criticize are dealt with severely. They may be thrown out of the group straight away. They may be isolated (and indoctrinated individually) so they have no impact on other new members, or they are made an example of, such that other members don't dare to speak out against the group.
I'll do a more detailed post if anyone is interested.
Also, what was the name of the training program that many of the woke grads in NFPs and govt. are put through?
