They are taught their leftist version of the truth in the colleges they attend by the Communist, and left leaning instructors hired there.
It is the colleges that are guilty.
Precisely why I've been saying for years that an Ivy League diploma should be an immediate disqualification for holding public office......
Teens arrive at college utterly and completely incapable of defending their faith and our nation's founding principles, and they enter college already ignorant of and antagonist to capitalism!
The way to fix our colleges is to have classrooms filled to the brim with youth who are capable of defending their faith and our nation's founding principles. That can come about if two things happen:
1) Massive spiritual revival for the adults.
2) Shut down the godless and socialist-modeled government schools! Get our nation's children into PRIVATE, conservative, Judeo Christian K-12 schools that fully integrate the family's beliefs into every minute of the school day.
Do the above, fill our college classes with youth capable of defending their faith and our nation's founding principles, and their Marxist professors will wither before their righteousness. Our colleges will be filled with Christian and conservative clubs. Within a few years these youth will, themselves, be professors and leaders of our cultural institutions.
That our youth are poorly educated happens in the home and in our socialist-modeled and godless government K-12 schools! Can we blame their parents ( and grandparents and great-grandparents) who have also been indoctrinated in godless and socialist-modeled government K-12 schools?
From the very first day that the first government K-12 schools opened in the mid-1800s to early 1900s children learned to be comfortable with socialism merely by attending their socialist-funded government school! These children learned that the government had enormous power to take money from a neighbor to pay for a service their parents wanted for tuition-free.
Well?...If government can use its police power to take money from a neighbor for "free" schools, why not FDR's New Deal, Johnson's Great Society, or now Obamacare?
As for godlessness, government schools have been essentially godless in their worldview since the days of my paternal grandmother ( born 1894). Even at their best, when they first opened, government schools of the mid-1800s offered up a lukewarm and generic Protestantism? ( We know what Christ does with the lukewarm.) There was a HUGE difference between the education of my paternal grandmother and father and that enjoyed by my mother and my maternal grandmother in their Catholic parochial schools. My paternal grandmother and father may have had a sprinkling of prayer and scripture in the morning but the rest of their day their curriculum was godless. ( I will grant, though, that the godless curriculum that my father and grandmother were subjected to was softened somewhat by the Christian worldview of their teachers.)
We need revival for the adults. We must shut down our godless and socialist government K-12 schools. We must get our nation's children into private, conservative, and Judeo Christian schools.
