My 22 and 21 yo daughters seem to be a mix of Millenial and Z. My 17 yo son has always been extremely conservative and patriotic- even defending his views in from of teachers and peers. He is openly disgusted by all things liberal. I am even confident no college will turn him. He is a joy to have around and have discussions with. Really gives me hope for the future.
A little advice. If your 17 Y.O. son plans on attending college, and does not plan on following the STEM curriculum, he had better learn to hide his conservatism. Otherwise his grades will suffer.
