I believe the answer to that is generally "people who didn't go to college/university".

That's a sick burn, but most of the politicians who promote this idea are well-educated. Perhaps they just see the benefit of demonizing free thought.

Everyone is being indoctrinated into something.

Edit: That is to say, everyone is conforming their mind to some external standard and calling it learning. Indoctrination used to have the connotation of simply learning, but now it means learning uncritically, accepting something without critical thought. Which side is teaching students to think critically, and which side is teaching students to accept a set of alternative facts that the fall apart under scrutiny?
