The education system should try to make children question their religious beliefs

The Semantical Argument:I understand that you mean "It is my recommendation that the education system should try to make children question their religious beliefs", that's what the resolution states, however I'm debating over what "should" means, not what the resolution itself means. My argument was that your definition of the word should means that the resolution states that educational systems are making the suggestion to try to make children question their religious beliefs, while your arguments state that schools should have the obligation to do so. This isn't a "cheap" move, it's the more sensible one, and as you decided to clash definitions we debated over them. Like all things, the viewers will decide, but that doesn't we shouldn't debate over it.I will now address my opponent's argument section by section.Paragraph 1: "My opponent argues as if I wanted schools to submit students "to teaching to doubt their parents in regular daily sessions". This has no root in anything I have written, and I agree that indeed this would be a horrible thing to do"My opponent claims this has no root, however, he has directly stated that schools should make children "question" their parents in school, which would take place in their classrooms every day (unless there's some other place children go to school). Just because he did not explicitly state it, it does not mean that it doesn't have to do with what he said."My opponent fortunately doesn't seem to disagree with my view that promoting critical thinking is a vital part of what an education ought to achieve. But if we want future students to become free spirits with excellent skills in critical thinking, it doesn't make sense to exclude from this aim critical thinking about ground-rooted beliefs, into which category religion usually falls."I agree that critical thinking is important, but disagree that this is how it can be achieved. Submitting children to sessions dedicated to smashing their beliefs during their impressionable years is the same thing as submitting children to build beliefs during their impressionable years, it doesn't promote free thinking, it simply subsitutes your own way of thinking for their parents. Furthermore this "5-10 hours a year" my opponent submitted isn't enough to acutally have the effects my opponent wishes. These sessions are too short to work using regular methods, and so even if you agree with my opponent's idea, his system will not acheive it.Paragraph 2:"Let's say that an atheistic child in grammar school is exposed to a priest who is invited to talk to the class in an hour or two about why he feels his Christian belief is justified, or that a Christian or Muslim student in high school is asked to read Richard Dawkins' excellent book "The God Delusion". It would hopefully have these students critically evaluate their beliefs, but is it brainwashing?"That would not be brainwashing as it appears to be voluntary and a one time thing, but let me offer you another scenario in return. Imagine impressionable children, forced to attend a classroom lecture as part of their teachings, and the whole time they are repeatedly being told that their beliefs are wrong untill it eventually sticks. Is that brainwashing?"In fact brainwashing is often achieved by seeing to that a person in only presented to facts and arguments that point in one direction, while ensuring that the person is also acquainted with arguments in the opposite direction is usually the best remedy against brainwashing."However, there's a difference. One difference being that as children mature, hormones make us question our parents anyway. When reinforced with daily teaching that our beliefs are wrong, that can quickly turn in the other direction. If anything, casual interaction with those who hold different beliefs are the answer, not forced submission to opposite ideas.VOTERS:S/G, is about the same, as well as conduct unless you want to count my round 1 against me.I ran out of characters :P
