In reply to the discussion: Bad news: Austria seeks hijab ban for primary school students [View all]Why should I care that you and some other people think the word has negative connotations? So what? The word correctly describes the actions. If they don't want some atheist on the internet correctly saying they indoctrinate their children, they might consider ceasing to indoctrinate their children.
