You cannot instill conservative values if you send your children to be indoctrinated in socialist indoctrination camps eight hours a day for 12 years. If you think you can, then you are deluded.

Are you sure? Do you think that there are no "good" conservatives here on Free Republic that went to public school in the recent past?

While there is definitely a lot of liberal ideology that is presented in public schools, and the parents should be on guard against it, to say that someone absolutely CANNOT become conservative and go to public school is a very silly statement.

To expect that you can send children to be indoctrinated for eight hours a day, for twelve years - steeped in pro-homosexual, leftist texts and propaganda, and they will to turn out "conservative" is even sillier. Wake up man! Look at what has happened to America. Even "conservatives" have bought into the socialist party line.

Just for the record: I never said that.
by God's grace, some do make it through the socialist indoctrination mills intact.
But they are the exception, not the rule.
That's why we are a minority..
