Also as a parent of a teenage daughter, I find myself emphasizing math and the hard sciences. Engineering, math curriculum’s etc have little in the way of biases.

I encourage other parents to tell their children to limit the “Social problems in society” classes if at all possible. That’s where the wing-nuts tend to teach. A lot of it is opinion oriented, using skewed data to back up their far lefty claims. Unfortunately, most degree programs require these “socilaly liberal causes” in one form or another in most degree programs.

Another good idea I’ve been kicking around for my kids is trade school. Nursing, plumbing, auto techs, electricians, welding etc are respectable jobs, providing decent pay and are always in demand.

Tell your kids ever to take a college course with the words “and Society” in the title. That is death for a conservative. The only reason I took one was because I needed a cake class to alleviate some of the stress from my engineering cirriculum. I kept my head down and escaped with a C+.
