What whiny fucking children.
Funny and sad that you’re obviously referring to the parents
Wait till you meet their kids :(
Having recently worked in public schools, the parents are worse
It’s been a decade since I graduated high school (and I hate that I’m old enough to say that) but I still remember very clearly that there were more liberal kids with really conservative parents than there were conservative kids with more conservative parents. And then after college, some of those leaning conservative kids became staunch liberals too. Plus, most of us were upper middle class, so we had quite the sample size too.
By and large, kids are more liberal than their parents, no matter how much their parents try to shelter and lead them to an evangelical Christian life.
My original thought was that the reason why kids grow up more liberal is because of their teachings and their upbringing/experiences. It’s really sad that things like science are politicized but it is and it’s generally left leaning. My worry is that if conservative parents home schooled their kids and essentially curated their upbringing to be conservative, it would lead to kids that are conservative and when these kids grow up they will perpetuate the cycle.
I think more will be conservative than before, but probably not most of them. They’d have to somehow cut off contract from anyone liberal
Hi. I was one of them. I am a left leaning atheist and live a boring middle class life with my wife and kids. Would you like to do a jigsaw puzzle with us or help me on a, new for us, pasta dish recipe we are trying tonight?
Origins don’t define us. Shit childhoods don’t define us. Crap parents don’t define us.
It absolutely can and does. But very glad you found your way out. So many don’t get that opportunity.
