"That's what she was taught at college"

Where have you been? I thought you talk to kids in high school, too.

You don't have to wait to learn garbage like "men are just women with hairy chests" and "there is no such thing as truth" and "a good society is an equality-based society"--all the garbage you keep insisting "you have to have gone to college to think a thing like that."

Dennis, I'm so sorry, but this is standard fare in high school and even in middle school. The teachers are the same people who "went to college and were taught these extremely stupid ideas" and then they went to teachers' college where they learned that their task was to enlighten their students and that "teaching skills" is a bad idea because it gets in the way of enlightening the children. In other words, their teachers' college gave them carte blanche to teach nothing and instead pour out their ideology for the purpose of enlightening the students.

A few months ago a woman called Rush's show to congratulate him on converting her. She hadn't listened to him very long before she realized that everything she had believed was a leftwing lie, but to her they were underlying premises for the Truth, that she just accepted leftism as true, and that she taught it to her students as a matter of passing on the truth to the next generation. Now she was busy trying to recant her old ideas in the classroom. The moral of the story is that teachers live in that liberal bubble you mention so often (much to your credit, because it's the truth) and feel authorized to teach their truth in their classrooms.

Please stop blaming it on colleges, because that's not where the problem starts. Our elementary and high school teachers are just as much to blame, and we need to keep them in mind as we fight this classroom-based propagandizing.

On a slight tangent, I just want to remind us of an insight I realized two decades ago, and which I mentioned a week or two ago: When a conservative imagines a liberal parent teaching his child liberal values, the conservative shrugs, thinks "poor kid", and adds, "It's the parent's right." When a liberal imagines a conservative parent teaching his child conservative values, the liberal says to himself, "We have to stop this atrocity!" and perhaps, "No parent should be allowed to indoctrinate his child that way!"

The doctrine of separating the children from their parents' values forms the foundation of modern public education.
