Our kids have their own minds and are so vulnerable to those college professors who seem (to the kids) to be the authority and who have so much power to reward and punish the students in ways that affect their lives. The teachers try to convince the students that they need to break free from religious and political beliefs of their families and think for themselves. Many students mistakenly emerge from college thinking their parents are misinformed and uneducated, even if their parents have a college degree.
