What about a radical, belligerent anti-Christian, anti-family activist? Should someone be unwillingly coerced/compelled/forced to subsidize that which is anathema to one's deeply-held religious principles? Additionally, there is the funding/financial issue. If you write the check, that creates a responsibility and entails certain rights.

An adult lives with one's parents at the grace and mercy of the parents. If the adult child is a belligerent radical homosexual activist, the parents are clearly within their rights to kick out the activist, with an aim to save their lost soul, if possible. Hopefully the errant and deviant child will "come to their senses" like the Prodigal Son, repent and straighten out and fly straight.

[Why I chose principles, not values: Forget "values", Nietzsche taught us that "values" are relative and can change or be changed, let's stick with unchanging Biblical Principles instead. Values are vacuous, values change.]

"What about a radical, belligerent anti-Christian, anti-family activist?"

The Buddhists next door are non-activist, non-belligerent, but anti-Christian. They support virtually all liberal causes. The other week when I was there, the daughter (who is still at home) was expressing support of gay marriage. The dad came unglued and actually called gays "little faggots" (with a proper English accent). Funny thing is, they home-schooled their girls (but support more funding for public schools) and were very strict, but not authoritarian. Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that the children of European parents tend to be better behaved because despite politics, parents there are still recognized as the heads of the family.

I asked them about their opposition to Christians. They truly believe a high percentage of Christians try to seek God, but are unenlightened, preaching but not practicing. The dad explained that so many skip over Christs' message and forget about the charity and compassion He espoused. I agree with him there. I mentioned to him a man who told me he went to India and met a guy at the market whose live chickens had their legs cut off instead of binded. His explanation to the shocked tourist was that the "chicken was a bad man in a former life." His reply was that it's the "human condition."

If it were my child, I would still pay for her education, but NOT at Brown. How does Abilene Christian College sound?
;)
