"I'm glad students are waking up to this fact. They aren't as easily led as some people think. A lot of times the liberal indoctrination just doesn't take."
I think parents can exert much influence over their children's thinking if they take the time. Problem is, most don't.
Our fifteen-year old has embraced many of our conservative ideals. We have taken the time to tell him our beliefs as well as why we believe the way we do. We offer information from many sources to support our ideas. This has enabled him to successfully "peg" which of his teachers are liberals and conservatives. We've had many interesting discussions while picking apart and ridiculing stupid remarks ( like "socialism has worked quite well for the Europeans, it makes everything more equal" made by his dumba$$ government teacher) made by various teachers. I've been able to gain loads of insight into my child's thinking and am quite proud of direction he's taken. Of course, if we as parents are "not there" it's easy to see how kids can buy into the crap they are fed by the liberal teachers.

This is why the homosexual advocacy groups want to take parents out of the picture by both keeping them in the dark about the pro-homosexual activities in the schools and by discrediting their ideals where ever they can. Keep up the good work!
As for me, my wife and I have given up on government schools and gone to homeschooling. That doesn't mean we bury our heads in the sand and ignore what happens in the government schools, though. We are just as outspoken as we always are because there are many parents who do not recognize the dangers that lurk there.
