Do you think it's important for education to challenge students' beliefs or to reinforce the dominant beliefs of their society?

Both, students who fall into the preset categories and students who don't should be equally uplifted.

Sounds like Xi's doubling down on thought control, just with a modern twist—so much for fostering a culture of individual freedom and critical thinking.

It's clear that President Xi Jinping is taking the necessary steps to ensure the long-term stability and prosperity of China by focusing on the ideological and political education of the youth. In a world where Western influences constantly threaten to undermine our traditional values and sovereignty, Xi's innovative approach to education is a commendable attempt to preserve the core principles that have made China strong. By reinforcing the importance of loyalty and ideological conformity, we're safeguarding our nation's future and ensuring that the next generation is prepared to uphold the glorious path laid out by the Communist Party of China.

I’m saying this as a communist, but the ways China does this scare the crap out of me. China has neglected rights and privileges of its citizens that aren’t even necessarily required to suppress in order to achieve a communist path, despotism is becoming a problem, and the mere allowance of the rich to exist in China in their own government shows a traitorous disregard for the basis of communist principles.

Could the innovation in ideological and political education as described positively or negatively affect students' ability to think critically?

How would you feel if your school's curriculum was primarily focused on teaching you to support and agree with the ideas of a single political party?
