College for the Home-Schooled Is Shaping Leaders for the Right

I have mixed feelings about home schooled kids. I do not believe that they develop as anti-social nuts or as people that never learned to assimilate themselves into normal society (as many people claim). I do however think it is a way for partents to have complete control of what enters their children's lives. Certainly a parental presence is necessary for a well rounded child, but that does not mean the parent should be the only source of mental and social input. I have often wondered if this limited view was the cause of most such children

Of the children home schooled in the US, 2/3 are Evangelical Christians. To my experience, virtually all are. of course, this is a regoinal quirk. None-the-Less, this article describes how some colleges that really pull in the home schoolers are becoming feeders for GOP political organizations and elected officials. I say "what took you so long?" you have thousands of kids being home schooled because (in the eyes of their parents), the outside world (and schools) are too perverse and corrupting. Their heads can't be piqued by anything but the pre-selected dogma. just who in the world would be a better GOP neophyte than a home schooler? These kids have been removed from normal adolecent society so that (for the most part) their interacting with non-conservatives will be at a minimum. Its like a farm that exclusively grows kids opposed to change.
