Yeah, but most of these kids, even if they do stray for a bit, go back to the values taught to them by their parents. A 20 year old student usually thinks they have all the answers, but when they enter the real world and start raising kids of their own, they realize Mom and Dad were right all along.

70% of single white women voted for obama. We see a strong push for treating homosexuality as normal and healthy with very little disagreement among the 20 somethings and the 30 somethings. We are seeing each generation that turns over more accepting of the idea of the govt assuming the role of provider and guarantor of a good life.

I think there are a lot of kids that ultimately see Mom and Dad had it right, but each generation is seeing fewer.

That may be the result of the parents failing to instill strong, conservative values in their children in the first place not any influence their professor's may have had. I remember coming home from college, a little know it all full of the liberal ideas taught to me by liberal professors. My Dad always listened to Rush Limbaugh on the radio whenever we were driving somewhere. Every now in then I would pipe in on one topic or another in disagreement with Rush. My Dad never told me I was wrong. He wouldn't even disagree with me. He would just ask me a question that I couldn't answer logically. I would be left stammering and pondering my position, but always left to my own conclusions. My parents always taught me how to think, not necessarily what to think, just to think. Also as a child, we didn't go to the beach on vacation or Disneyland or skiing. We went to historical sites. We went to civil war battle fields, Thomas Jefferson's home, Davy Crockett's birth place, Daniel Boone's home, the Alamo, Lincoln's birth place, the Lincoln Memorial, the capital etc. etc. We were always taught to love history and learning. They raised 4 strong conservatives. We all went to public schools. My sister and I to public college. My sister even graduated with a BA in education and MA in childhood counseling. Is she liberal? Nope, almost just as conservative as I am. She is the one who pointed me towards FR.
