The school was fairly conservative; I was extremely conservative. I liked to get into theological and ideological arguments with my teachers. I especially liked it when I won. :-)
At my public school, some of my teachers were actually conservative while others were to the left of Marx. I think I even had one libertarian teacher. My politics are a mix of conservative and libertarian. So I used to debate and beat my leftist classmates and teachers on a routine basis.
As for the private high school (a Catholic High School) in my hometown, the student body was and many of their parents were CINOs (Catholics in Name Only). They were pro-abortion, I mean pro-choice; and voted usually for Dims based on economic issues and because their parents and granddaddy voted Rat. That's why the Louisiana GOP is in trouble.
