Parents are more ignorant than their kids, having been long separated from all children’s text book learning in modernistic schools, moved to electronics, “new” math, no civics, rewritten history, social cheerios, etc.
Americans begged for these “innovations”, using schools and activities as glorified baby sitters, dedicated to Apathy and parental careers.
I am not innocent, btw, but did raise sons in the church and on John Wayne. 😊 So important lessons and impressionable influences worked early and lasted.

I remember the precise moment I became ferociously engaged in my son’s education. We were having our usual family dinner together and I mentioned that I’d finished my tax return and I owed a couple of thousand dollars. My son piped up “Paying taxes is good.” I felt my blood pressure go up, but I calmly asked “Why honey?” and he began to spout some socialist nonsense imposed on him by his male socialist teacher. From that night on, we had in-depth conversations about some of the stuff he was hearing in school and I gently offered alternative points of view more reflective of conservative values. I am now the very proud parent of a conservative son who may actually be more conservative than his Mom, even leaning towards red-neckery, in a good way.
