Having money being taken from my kids because some parents are idiots is not something I would like to be involved in.
This... As a college student this is extremely true. The scariest part of it is the students around me who have been programmed not to question what professors say, and take statements of opinion and register them as facts. All they know how to do is memorize and have no critical thinking skills (a symptom of the Public school system).
It makes it much more difficult when over 70% of your grade is based on writing assignments, essay form tests, and class participation that is graded on a subjective scale determined by the professor who does not appreciate you questioning the ideology that he/she is preaching. But makes it all that much more rewarding when you do get good grades.
I have made it a point to try to take as many classes with associate professors(part time professors) who have other jobs outside of the College. I avoid PHd in Educations professor morons like the plague.
PS: Parents make sure you are reading your kids text books and homework assignments you might be shocked at what is being put in your children's heads.
Disclaimer: I have had great great teachers in my years and by no means am I condemning all teachers I am condemning a system that is based on personal politics and not results. An organization with little or no accountability, incentives nor reprimand breeds mediocrity.
...When asked their point of view about something they always answer the way that they believe, but when handing in an assignment or taking a test they always answer with the information that the teacher or book gave. It would be futile to do otherwise. The important thing is that they are very well read and informed and an indoctrination of liberal points of view won't make a dent.
Excellent. You're a true American.
Thanks. : ) We're trying our best to bring them up the right way.
Sounds like your doing a hell of a job. Keep it up!
My children sometimes come home with crazy points of view from their text books and classroom lessons, but we have always had discussions about morals and politics since they were little.

Just because I'd like to be informed how badly some of my peers are behaving, could you please provide some examples?

Class assignment last year was to write a letter to President Obama and tell him how good of a job he was doing and to present a question or idea for him for his presidency. The teacher was not thrilled about the pro 2a stance my son took
