...to say that someone absolutely CANNOT become conservative and go to public school is a very silly statement.

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..

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.

Once again, I can point to many people who are the product of public schools and are conservative. Yes, I expect I could send a child of mine to a public school (although I send them to private school) and have them turn out conservative. Is it difficult? Yes. Do we need to change the way public schools work? Yes. But your blanket statements are ludicrous.

Just for the record: I never said that.

Ummmm, here is your statement:

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.

That is EXACTLY what you said. If you didn't intend to say that, fine. The clarification is appreciated.
