I know. From all accounts, it is a very expensive, very liberal college. It is unlikely the parents didn’t know, but...I am just trying to give them the benefit of the doubt in this time, which must be awful.
I understand that “you reap what you sow”, but I think we could go easy on that right now.
Thanks for the civil response.
You’re welcome, and you could well be right about the parents - we both have no clue.
I, and no doubt like you, are sick of so many parents shirking what may be their most important job, which is instilling American values in their kids...for if their is no America, no other values will matter.
In my 58 years, I have never seen a hard-left kid raised by anything but mushy liberal parents. I believe that there was a book quite awhile back, maybe authored by Midge Decter(?), titled Liberal Parents, Radical Children, something like that, and in general, I believe it. I remember my friends and relatives raised by the sort-of dingy, ‘lefter’ fringe of liberals, and nearly all turned out to be even ‘lefter’ than the folks (and often the angry variety, too, but not always). I do think that hard-left kids overwhelmingly spring from a certain variety of liberal home, sort of like Rachael Corrie’s folks, who let her go to a very dangerous part of the world and meddle in the politics by demonstrating, there. And who but committed liberals would pay what it costs to send their kids to such a school? Not being censorious here, just reporting what I have observed time and again over many years.
