…well today my 16-year-old completes his first semester of college.  I have mixed emotions.  “Wow”, he can have his B.A. years ahead of the average student.  Or, “Wow”, he survived unscathed, as one of the youngest on campus, the aggressive indoctrination by the powers-that-be to persuade him to become a left-wing liberal, socialistic, homosexual.  “That’s bold, Denise”, you might say.  Perhaps.  Bold began for me when the school counselor made it clear that as a mother, I was sort of ‘in the way’ and in actual fact, she wanted to deal directly with my minor son.  Bold continued when I saw the skimpy outfits the girls on campus were wearing along with all the other grievous signs of depravity.  Bold in my book was the provocative essay his ‘professor’ handed him, glorifying, in a titillating tale, how one young man came to the realization that he was ‘gay’.  If you want to know what’s wrong with America, you need go no further than your local community college.*  As a parent, I’m breathing a sigh of relief today.  He worked hard and scored well, all while dodging the bullets of the dark side.
