Jeff,
Local kid, briefly dated my daughter in HS. Went into Marine Corps from HS. Did tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Currently a senior at UMass Amherst. Cannot wait to graduate and get away from all the anti America anti republican anti military, anti white sentiment in Amherst and in the school curriculum. He blew his GPA from being just under a 3.9 by refusing to write a paper on "growing up with white privilege and the damage that it has done to the country." He got a failing grade from the "professor." I chit you not..... My alma mater. Will never see another dime from me. You will see as the kids get older and the indoctrination begins......

More what-aboutisms from the guy who dismisses arguments by others who use them. And, hey, you're talking 50 years ago--from the guy who dismisses arguments because of "time machine" mentality.
Hypocrite. |

I've known plenty of people who are uneasy with the military because they're anit-war...that being said I've never in my life met anyone with such extreme views as what was referenced above. |

Jeff, the colleges in New England have professors that are 70% liberals. That number is most likely conservative and they are not afraid to share their opinion with their students. There was a good article in Boston magazine a few years back detailing the effect of this disparity.

It gets a lot more common high school & college and the higher in grade they get the less the teachers try to hide it.
I’ve got my youngest who is a jr in high school & 2 in college and know from my kids and our friends kids from other towns/cities.
