I have a daughter who is a junior in college. She attends a small private university of about 5,000 students. It is not connected with the state university system. She is a smart cookie, but like many girls her age (actually everyone at every age) she’s always been more interested in pop culture than in news and politics. Since her major is requiring her to take a lot of government and current history courses she’s become more aware of what is going on.
I’d been curious to see if she was being filled with a lot of liberal bad ideas at school. It turns out that most of her teachers are very balanced in their views, although she has had a couple of real flaming libs. She calls or emails me a lot about what she is being taught and to my surprise she is curiously resistant to indoctrination. I seem to have raised a skeptic, unless she is just telling me what I want to hear. Those with children know this tactic very well. Why it surprises me that my child is a skeptic is a mystery, I mean, she is my daughter, after all.
