    Unfortunately many High Schools no longer require U.S. History. Also public schools no longer teach social studies or civics. My two sons attended State Universities, as did I and my husband. My husband also attended Medical School and for 35+ years has had a medical/surgical practice. I have a B.S. in Medical Information Management and Biology.

    Never did our Professors discuss their personal political opinions, or push any political agenda.

    My sons however complained that their professors made known that they were democrats. in fact they discussed their politics in classes that had nothing to do with politics or government. They said it was clear they could not verbalize their Republican, conservative views without repercussions.
    I would personally never pay for them to attend Harvard or any other Icy league school. They brainwash students and push their liberal beliefs.
    .
    Schools are suppose to teach both sides and allow students to make their own decisions. They are suppose to teach students how to learn. How to make their own decisions.

    Millinials are so brain washed. Most have no idea what the cost of living is. Many move back home after graduation because they don't earn enough to live on their own. God forbid they have to work a full and part time job. As many of us patents had to when we were starting out. Or drive an old car and furnish an apartment with hand me down furniture. Their scialistband liberal views are scary. Parents need to discuss politics with thier kids. Fortunately, my sons have always voted Republican. Because they say they hate the Government running their lives. My youngest tells me that

    I had those things in elementary school, why should a student need to take US History in High School seems like overkill and the same for Civics I learned how the government worked in 8th grade it was a two week course covering the basics.

    I can't speak about University now but in 1990 they had the same issues but were more subtle when I attended for awhile but has views contrary to many and never got penalized for it thankfully the campus had a strong debate and sharing differences of opinion.
