This question arises because a few days ago a teaching school supported indoctrination in a speech as a way of educating to instill certain ideas or beliefs to its students. I would like to know the opinion and vision that there is regarding this issue, since, many people supported the discourse of the school, being in a democratic country, where each person is free to be educated with all the ideas and that each one chooses his own idea and not of being educated only on an idea
I think it's depend on your students class and on the country situation. Also on the norms of society that how better it will be. You have to educate the nation for improvement in their lives standards. How you can achieve a research is required and in a class of students with different ideologies in my opinion is not better.
Democracy and educational freedom are independent variables and as such should be treated separately. Sadly, the usual educational model throughout the world, in public and private schools, is all about indoctrination, in one form or another. Many educators attempt to promote freedom of thought and freedom of expression in spite of ideological controls and repressive sociopolitical contexts. This is a never-ending struggle that requires constant negotiation involving students, teachers, administrators, and diverse social actors.

Education as an institution is a social tool, and like government and other social tools, can be and is used to propagate and reproduce existing hegemony. Education can also be used to disrupt these dominant patterns. As Freire says "There's no such thing as neutral education. Education either functions as an instrument to bring about conformity or freedom.” And further, "the oppressed, having internalised the image of the oppressor and adopted his guideline are fearful of freedom. Freedom would require them to eject this image and replace it with autonomy and responsibility.” So regardless of the ideology at hand (democratic, socialist, capitalist, religious, fascist), those in power tends to embrace education as a force of social reproduction, while those in the minority cling to education as a force of social change.
Para o docente português Licínio Lima, não há educação sem uma dimensão antropológica. 'Educação é sempre a favor de alguma coisa, contra alguma coisa'. Entretanto, isto não significa que a escola deve ser espaço para doutrinação. A escola deve criar ambiente favorável para o debate e existência de divergências, sobretudo as divergências que estimulem o pensamento crítico e a atenção ao outro. Isto significa que a escola, assim como todo espaço de aprendizagem, não deve ser imparcial na questão do respeito ao diferente, pois entender a escola como espaço para as diferenças implica, por si só, uma escolha. Para Paulo Freire, “não existe imparcialidade. Todos são orientados por uma base ideológica. A questão é: sua base ideológica é inclusiva ou excludente?”
Good morning

But even in democracy the way of thinking is conduct by universities.
Do you think Freetown exists? For all for a select group?

When I read your question and answered it, I remember two papers in my file very related to your question. I wanted to share with you. Today I found one of them accidentally, and I attach a copy. If I find the second paper, I will send you a copy. Good luck with your research.
