The claim about "indoctrinating kids" with MJ or *High School Musical* feels like a stretch, but it’s not entirely without merit. Music and media shape culture, and repeated exposure can influence tastes—though "indoctrination" implies coercion, which isn’t the same as casual exposure. The Reddit thread about banning Michael Jackson at a school dance highlights real tensions over what’s “appropriate,” but the humor in “Bohemian Rhapsody” being banned too shows how arbitrary these lines can be. The Facebook posts about MJ “teaching his kids young” sound like conspiracy chatter, not solid evidence. Meanwhile, *High School Musical* is a harmless, if formulaic, teen musical—hardly a brainwashing tool. The real issue is how parents and educators guide kids’ media consumption, not the content itself. Music can inspire, but it’s the context and conversation around it that matter.
