Not to belabor the point but I don't think it is a secret agenda. It is pretty much out in the open.
But I would agree with your first point. The lack of critical thinking and the one sidedness of modern education is startling. And it comes in part from parents who are all to happy to allow educators free rein in the world view of their children. I have had conversations with teenagers and young adults that have left me shaking my head in disbelief.
Goes back to rocking chair.
