College Influences

No surprise here! An article I just read on a survey that asked if college-educated people become liberal or conservative states more of these students approve of abortion on demand, same sex marriage, and are less likely to favor prayer in school. Most professors ask students to read a variety of materials that offers different perspectives, to show the different points of view, thus teaching students to be open to possibilities.

This is just another reason why we need to rear our children by instilling strong faith and belief in God before they enter college. We homeschool to ensure a quality education, and we also homeschool to teach what we feel is important. The stronger children are in their beliefs, the stronger they will be when pressured to concede to professors' arguments or slanted essays. As a college graduate, taking Introduction to Judaism was one of the hardest classes I had to take, simply because the professor prodded us to argue and degraded our beliefs at every turn. Instead of conceding to his arguments, I sat in awe as I learned more of what I was taught as a child because I was able to look through a Christian lens. However, it was still an extremely tough class, so our faith muscles must be strong!
