Bishop also told the paper he "certainly hopes" the effort will expand into the K-12 system over time.
"I think the problem isn't just in higher ed. The truth of the matter is that kids are being indoctrinated from an early age," he said.
"I think that those of us who have diverse thinking and look at both sides of the issue, see that the way the cards are stacked in the education system, is toward the left and toward the liberal ideology and also secularism — and those were not the values that our country was founded on. Those are the values that we need to get our country back to."
Emphasis mine
I wonder if that will go anything like DARE did. When they did a DARE thing at my school in the 4th grade or sometime around then, I got to see a bunch of fellow grade-schoolers literally promise each other that they would all do tons of drugs as teens just to spite the dumbfuck pig and school counselor that we could all tell were talking down to us.
Adults, for whatever reason, constantly underestimate kids' ability to read bullshit for what it is, as well as their tendency to challenge things out of youthful contrarianism if nothing else.
The big difference here is that doing drugs is far more tolerated by society than being a communist. Most kids know DARE is bullshit because they have tons of examples of people they know and/or look up to who do drugs and don't melt into a puddle. Most kids don't know many open communists.
