I wonder how much propaganda is actually believed and what happens when school lessons conflict with a family's and peer group's values and attitudes on race.

From here, it looks like nobody other than those with some sort of vested interest really cares about this manufactured race conflict but will say pretty much anything when put on the spot, going along to get along and all that.

Or am I missing something, like the equivalent of the Hitler Youth denouncing parents as Jewish sympathizers or children of the former USSR turning in their parents for counter-revolutionary tendencies?

BH, I would love to believe most people do NOT believe this garbage, but that would be wishful thinking IMHO. Most people are not good at touting what they do not believe. The parents often do not know and often lack power. The views of the bad guys are often grabbed parasitically from the false narratives of false prophets. Our job, IMHO, like Mr Rufo, as truth seekers, is to use the sword of truth to kill the false consensuses, discredit the false prophets, expose their evil ways, and neuter them without sacrificing our freedoms. But like everything, easier said than done!
