I don't think parents necessarily have to be "conservative"; if they are independent, libertarian or just skeptical of the whole damn thing like I am, they should do okay. Keeping them away from modern "entertainment" and public education can go a long way, too.

absolutely with you on the avoiding public education part.

I can see that. Being grounded In reality is always a good mental health step

I am so thankful that my children do not use public schools.  They're either home schooled or they are in christian Classical schools.   and i am SO pleased at their level of intelligence and knowledge.  They actually talk to adults...like i adults.   Tell me how many public school kids can do that.

Their mothers/fathers have them participate in sports, activities, they volunteer, they belong to organizations. My granddaughter just started working after school to keep the children who need to stay till 5 30 when their parents pick them up after they get off work.   She gets paid for this too.   My daughter began a folder for them when they started school keeping a record of their accomplishments and actvities.....for their resumes which the oldest is now working on IN SCHOOL...it's part of their curriculum.

When my kids were in school, home schooling was not on my radar...so i didn't know about it.  BUT the one thing i did on a DAILY basis was to deprogram my kids when they got home from school....daily...and then more than adequately when something happened at school that was 'woke' for those days.  I knew that I had prevailed when they would call me from college and say, 'you will not believe what the professor said today'.
