Blacks, Youths, and CPAC

I performed my "American Tea Party Anthem" and "Twenty Ten: We're Gonna Vote Them Out" at CPAC as a representative for TeaPartyExpress.org. I was struck and excited by the high number of youths in attendance (over 50% were under 25 years old). With liberal iron-fisted dictatorship regimes ruling most of America's campuses, how did these kids survive the attempts to indoctrinate them?

Those with whom I chatted said they simply figured it out. Just the other day, a friend's daughter, who is a freshman in college, complained about being forced to write a flowery essay about how Obama mirrors Martin Luther King. It is a shame that this brilliant young lady must choose between publicly standing up for her principles or a passing grade. The youths at CPAC were extremely enthusiastic and upbeat. I suspect that many are practicing stealth conservatism at college.

My daughters and I figured out a way for them to do both. Simply state at the beginning of the paper something like, "the texts say..." or "my professor taught...." and end with a closing paragraph of personal belief. Two of mine have done this and actually garnered positive feedback from their professors on that.
