Hence why with few exceptions people that tell me they graduated from Harvard, Yale, Oxford, Stanford et. al. I scorn and do not seek further interaction. I to this day will not hire one either.
All their money was spent to make them the dumbest people in the room.
After decades of left-wing indoctrination of our children in the schools and media, I’m surprised there are any
Conservatives on the earth at all let alone enough to have a fighting chance in any political debate.
Turning your kids over to the public schools will do that. I have five kids in private school and even still I need to work mightily to help them understand the myths and falsehoods of liberalism. The key is not just telling them the way it is, but taking the time to explain why. My oldest is out on her own at college now and I’m very proud of the independent thinking conservative she has grown to become. She still emails me and says she knows something she’s hearing has to be wrong and could I help her understand it better. It’s a lot of work, but so is every other aspect of raising a child properly.
Wait until “reality” slaps the faces of these children. As always, they realize their parents were RIGHT.
Turn your kids over to the government at age 5 and what do you expect?
If you want to keep your kids, you have to raise them yourself. Homeschool.
I wonder if the professors who said question your father’s values also mean that conservative students should challenge their father’s (or parents) left-wing values and ideas.
mine are all three conservative thank God
their Dad is a former conservative who wanted to be popular and fell for the obama pied piper act
Yeah, I’ve got one like that. Happened when she went to college. But, unlike liberals, I don’t believe in group think. She is free to choose, hopefully life experience and a crushing tax burden will be the “I told you so”.
My parents are screaming left wingers frothing at the mouth
with resentment of the rich even though they went to Catholic college, own homes and have never missed a meal.
I am a conservative.
My siblings are all lefties.
How do I explain it?
My parents were deceived by the devil of psychology, starting with ‘Transactional Analysis” the “I’m OK, You’re OK” crapola of my youth.
I could tell it was garbage from the beginning. My siblings bought into it. I attribute a lot of the damage to garbage spouting psychologists and the ‘I deserve to be happy at your expense” crap that they spout.
Here are some facts:
1) Children in secular schools **will** learn to think and reason godlessly. They must just to cooperate in the classroom.
2) If they attend government schools they risk learning to be comfortable with the single payer and tuition-free entitlement that is the very foundation of government schooling. Hey! If the government can give the citizen tuition-free schooling, why not use that power to get lots of “free” stuff?
3) Nearly all the K-12 teachers in this nation ( both public and private schools) were trained by godless Marxists in Marxist run colleges and universities. The indoctrination continues into the highest levels of university graduate school!
4) Drive by nearly any of those Marxist run K-12 schools, colleges, or universities in this nation, and you will see schools stuffed full to the brim ( **willingly**) with the children of conservatives and God fearing so-called “patriots”.
5) The children are being indoctrinated by Marxists to hate their nation and heritage. The boys, especially, are being humiliated and drugged into submission. The Marxists are hard at work producing girly Peter Pans who are incapable of defending themselves, their families ( if they can figure out how to form one!), and our nation. The indoctrination of our youth is already having consequences in the voting booth, culture, and birth rate. It will only get worse.
Will God save this nation? I doubt it. Why should He when conservatives and God fearing parents mistreat their children in this way and subject them to such evil? ( It's a millstone thing.)
Another Reason to Homeschool
This is absolutely true.
Every generation has had it's share of "kids who rebel." This is a natural process of transitioning into adulthood. The difference now is that the consequences of that rebellion -- that in the past would naturally cause a reassessment and realignment of one's views -- don't exsist like they used to. "Childhood" extends well into the 20s. Bad decisions are subsidized by the government. No one can "judge" you. So being young and stupid is something you can do with impunity.
Look, even Reagan couldn’t keep two our of his four children from the clutches of liberalism. His adopted son Mike understood more readily than his natural born kids. I guess it’s just not easy.

Reason? sending them to gov run propaganist schools of progressive liberal communist facist thought. Cutting our own wrists. Would a rat send his or her robot to a conservitive institution of thought?

To the point of murder.
Horse pucky. They don't understand the mechanics of their values well enough to explain how liberty works in contrast to collectivism. Most conservatives were products of public schools and even then an ignorant hand-waving mystical priesthood.
Values must be inculcated early in a child’s life — before the school systems get a hold of them.
My children and I talked about life and politics every night at the dinner table, along with their parents taking an active interest in every aspect of their education.
I’ve now got a tremendous young man who is at least as conservative as I am and a God-loving, God-fearing daughter who will exceed me in life in every important respect. You have to put in the time as a parent. There is no substitute for it.
The problem the author has is that it begins long before their kids enter college. The public schools and mass media begin the indoctrination when children are still preteens
