No doubt there is some truth to that, but several places that seem quite revealing. For instance when he says, 'They will base their actions on what they know to be true, rather than on what they wish to be true.' To me this is a very humanists outlook of someone that has no faith. Also the part about where he discusses how it is difficult to talk to your family and friends after completed college education, makes his idea of college more of a cultist indoctronation than an education.

You would prefer the converse? You prefer people to base their actions on what they wish to be true rather than what they know to be true?

You're interpretating his words very narrowly. He could be talking about any kind of political or ideological views or prejudices here. If what one has taught one's children has a sound basis, I don't see what there is to fear from exposing young people to new knowledge and debate.
