I read an article on this subject (I wish I had the link, an excellent article) of how much Leftist education changed the political orientation of young people and the author’s conclusion was, “not very much.”

In general young people tend to reflect the politics of their families, so kids coming from a conservative family remained conservative, even if they graduated from a Leftist college like Harvard.

And vice versa - Red diaper babies stayed socialists.

The difference, however, is that Leftists have few babies because they practice abortion; whereas, conservatives have more children because they believe in marriage and family life.

The conclusion of this author was that conservative values would triumph despite the Leftist domination of education.

These last two years have given me hope; the most liberal activist will make a hard right when they can’t get a job. The younger they are when this happens, the better; I graduated in the early 90s in a crappy job market, and I still make Pat Buchanan look like a cross-dressing Bolshevik. “White” liberalism especially should be dead, since when applying for a job at companies’ websites you go through a lengthy process, only to be asked at the very end what race & gender you are.

The frightening aspect of this is that those same young people are very much like disillusioned, unemployed Europeans of the 1930s.
