And I have to admit, when you get to college all bets are off -- there's heavy duty indoctrination going on. However, it's more the professors and not the institution that's behind the political slant at the university. The administrators only care about getting more money for theinstitution by any means necessary. And there's no difference in the overall political stance of public vs. private universities, so I don't think it's actually the *government* that's behind it all. My mother complained that we are making the kids say the pledge of allegiance, which is true, and in Texas schools, they do have a moment of silence. However, I don't think the very young kids are translating this into a political premise. Yet. Sonja Hi David, thanks for stopping by. And I have to admit, when you get to college all bets are off — there’s heavy duty indoctrination going on.

My mother complained that we are making the kids say the pledge of allegiance, which is true, and in Texas schools, they do have a moment of silence. However, I don’t think the very young kids are translating this into a political premise. Yet.

Many textbooks have re-written history and yet there is no backlash...we pay for college professors to spew their view of America and its history, and in some cases if our kids do not agree they receive lower grades. Unfortunately, I must agree with your co-worker, schools in America(especially high school) are geared to push the liberal agenda...you may not see it in tests and other paperwork, but it is most definitely put out there verbally by the teachers.
