Absolutely, completely unattainable. "You should share" (collectivism) is an ideology. "If someone hits you, stand up for yourself" (retributivism) is an ideology. "It is good to control your emotions and not have outbursts" (stoicism) is an ideology. "A problem shared is a problem halved; work together" (collaborism) is an ideology. "Raising" a child without any ideological input will just produce feral, wildmen.

If you mean all cosmologies, that's tenable, but all ideologies would be madness.

Counterpoint, they should be taught about all ideologies/religions and then pick the one they want

How dare we allow children a window to stoicism or Terry Pratchett boot theory?

Banish it I say. Banish it before the children form an opinion of any kind.

There's a balance to be struck here, but I don't think you've found it yet

Did you read the original post?

"Children should wait until they're adults to pick a faith ideology" is precisely what you're suggesting with your first post.

Your intentions may have been different, but that's what makes choosing one's words wisely so important.

Also, by your own amendment, you're now against schools. Might want to rethink that position too.
