Many consveratives genuinely believe education is an indoctrination system to make people liberal, but the actuality is that being more educated and versatile as a person makes you more inclined to think toward the left. No great societies or innovations in mankind were brought out by conservatives

I mean there is plenty of legit indoctrination going on in American universities. It's not quite an intentional devious scheme, but more like the exploitation by people in positions of authority upon sheepish and impressionable young people who are going to college in droves because our schools for the last 15 years have been treating it as an imperative.

Being more educated does not make one inherently think more left wing. It makes them less traditionalist, which is not in direct opposition to the left or right. Being educated doesn't inherently make you agree with welfare statism and compassion for the poor.

Your last sentence is also incredibly naive.
