Literature?

Education is full of propaganda. It is up to teacher and student to coordinate the curriculum/material/context in a practical way that has been deemed interpretable and useful as per the status quo. There are breakouts for sure, and there are also duplications, you can provides samples.

Dolls, monies, icons (hieroglyphs), archetypes, other inventions (story, animal, vegetable, mineral...)

So there you go. Pick one. Draw more than one line in the sand.
Your mention here of student-teacher interaction, is not quite the passive process of manipulation you previously described. In any case, whether flawed and biased or not, education requires a feedback loop to be successful. In essence, the very process of pro-active learning, that would thwart indoctrination, brainwashing (that both require suspension of criticality, emotional inducement, and repetition). And bias could never be a constant, given the empiricism of such as the sciences, mathematics and technology. Nor English (and other languages). Basically, what are known as the 'core subjects' exist virtually without bias. Of course the humanities and arts are open to interpretation, but across a far wider spectrum, than any propagandist worth his craft, would seek to supplant, with any contrived commonality. You're pissing in the wind here, Tommy.

And what of experience and insight? These too leave one with a different mindset, and yet may do so quite easily, and naturally, without any external manipulation whatsoever.

Many times people think incorrectly that propaganda is supposed to be political or have something to do with a "happening" issue that is context-ed timely in today's media presenters. You set the tone of this thread in terms of nothing but political motive. Even going so far as to utilise political examples.
And if no strictly political, then what other applications were you referring to?

Btw, you could have condescended to address my post in full. I did so, in response to your own.
