Summary
More and more parents are watching their children not only challenge the political or religious beliefs they grew up with but actually challenge the very existence of objective morality, absolute truth and even concepts like linear reasoning and the laws of logic are now being associated with racism, imperialism, and sexism.
And while parents attempt to assuage their concerns by convincing themselves that they will “grow up and grow out of it,” the reality is many kids haven't been taken hostage by a charming and witty college professor…kids are simply living out the values they were inadvertently taught by their conservative parents…we will explain what that is and how you can combat it on this episode of Making the argument.

| 0:00.0 | Parents are frustrated about what is going on within their public schools, within higher education. |
| 0:05.0 | They're realizing that they're sending their kids off to these institutions and their kids are coming back, |
| 0:09.0 | believing things that either completely contradict what they've been taught at home. |
| 0:13.0 | But more than that, what's actually going on, I believe, |
| 0:16.0 | is that in many cases, conservative parents are actually contributing to the problems that they're |
| 0:21.8 | seeing with respect to their kids. It can't all be blamed on the education system. We're going |
| 0:26.5 | to actually go into the specifics of what I mean by that. Plus, we're going to equip you |
| 0:30.7 | with the arguments that you need in order to raise kids that know what they believe, understand |
| 0:36.3 | why they believe it, and are prepared to |
| 0:38.4 | defend it. We're going to be talking about all that on more on this episode of making the argument |
| 0:42.2 | where we make the arguments to defend a free society. And if you find value in today's show, |

| 1:07.2 | someone who is also a student, managed to survive higher education and come out the other end, |
| 1:11.4 | even more conservative than he went in, Christian Heinz. |
| 1:14.7 | This is true. Hello. |
| 1:16.1 | And we can actually say the exact same thing for our producer, Nicholas Hamilton. |
| 1:20.7 | That's a rarity. |
| 1:21.8 | It is a rarity. And yet somehow you guys did that. And we're hoping that today you're actually |
| 1:25.5 | going to provide some insight on how that was possible. Now, Hamilton, I'm not going to give you as much credit. You went to Liberty. |
