That would not be teaching, that would be controlling.

I believe Art Bell did a piece on this topic. From what I recall, "brainwashing" is giving knowledge to someone in a semi or fully hypnotic state, and to forcibly do that to someone is very illegal, but if one desires it and gives full written consent, yes, it is an excellent way to gather knowledge. However, that knowledge is not always readily accessible or reliable. Like if you tried to teach someone programming through hypnosis, they would excel upon being educated in the standard way, but they couldn't go out and make the next "Microsoft Visual Studio". Check out www.coasttocoastam.com, I believe somewhere on there they have an article

If faith became made unlawful, the very dream that each and all of us started this us of a could be destroyed. Our founding fathers had the dream of a rustic with freedom of religion...and it somewhat is a individual's selection on what faith they decide directly to maintain on with...granted, it might desire to be the incorrect selection, yet nevertheless, they're inspired via what they see and hear. If it somewhat is brainwashing, then shouldn't evolution be brainwash too? it somewhat is taught in all public faculties...and faith is forbidden, a minimum of from the academics. i don't have faith wikipedia as a stable source...perhaps it somewhat is basically me.

Morally wrong, but not illegal. Some great brain washers included Hitler, Charles Manson, Mussoline (sp), Heavens Gate Crew, Waco Crew, ect. All with great outcomes I might point out.

Advertising is basically a form of brainwashing; is that illegal? LOL

Yes, it is but you could try brainwashing us into thinking it is okay.
Our code of ethics tells us it is not legal.

Of course not! It's called public education!

All education systems and religions already use it.
So does the American media, and very sucessfully I might add.

Since that is how religion is being taught, it's obviously not illegal (or all the shamans are breaking the law).
