@pilotkhyle With regard to your question about “Liberal schools.” I have heard parents use that phrase before. Especially regarding the East Coast colleges.
What they are afraid of in my experience is their kids being different from them. If they are religious conservatives of any religion, they know that you will meet people at a “liberal college” who are Christian, Muslim, Hindu, and atheist. You will even meet (gasp) gay people. You will probably become more accepting of people’s differences and realize that there are good and bad people in each group, and the hating an entire group makes no sense. You may even realize that there is no more evidence for one religion than for the others. If there were, it would be called science.
These things change people. Seeing a child change so much from how they think is scary for many parents. That is what many parents are afraid of when they say this.
