Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum on Wednesday suggested that President Barack Obama wanted to every kid to go to college so they could be brainwashed into being a liberal.
Speaking to a crowd of Floridians at the First Baptist Church of Naples, Santorum said that churches and families were under “assault” by the president and liberals.
“We’ve lost, unfortunately, our entertainment industry,” the candidate explained. “We’ve lost our higher education. That was the first to go a long time ago. It’s no wonder President Obama wants every kid to go to college. The indoctrination that occurs at American universities is one of the keys to the left holding and maintaining power in America — and it is indoctrination.”
“If they taught Judeo-Christian ideology, they would be stripped of every dollar. If they teach radical secular ideology, they get all the government support that they can possibly get. As you know, 62 percent of children who enter college with a faith conviction leave without it. And I bet you there are people in this room who give money to colleges and universities who are undermining the very principles of our country every single day by indoctrinating kids in left-wing ideology. And you continue to give to these colleges and universities. Let me have a suggestion: Stop it!”
Santorum added: “What they say is, look, their values trump your religious values. The government can tell you they’re going to starve you by taking money away, by taking out the charitable deductions. They’re going to weaken you by passing statutes to change the institution of marriage, which will ultimately make what is preached here hate speech and bigotry.”
Last month, the former Pennsylvania senator warned voters in Iowa that colleges and universities had become “indoctrination centers for the left.”
For his part, President Barack Obama spoke about the importance of college affordability during his annual State of the Union address on Tuesday.
“We can’t just keep subsidizing skyrocketing tuition; we’ll run out of money,” he said. “So let me put colleges and universities on notice: If you can’t stop tuition from going up, the funding you get from taxpayers will go down.”

Yeah, that might have to do with the children gaining critical thinking skills... then again, I know plenty of people who are strongly religious and have almost earned their degree, so perhaps that 62% which had faith then don't never really had that strong a faith to begin with...

I am so sick of the 'right' and their indoctrination plot bullshit. I thought that once Michelle Buckmann dropped out of the race we wouldn't have to hear about this crap anymore. She must be whispering in Santorum's ear. Talk about divisive rhetoric, they have this patented.

100 percent of that 62 percent finally get to see what they are missing out on after getting out of their sheltered family lives and getting to make their own decisions.

If you disagree with some xians (as opposed to Christians who actually try to follow the Master's teachings) you are bad. If you refuse to let xians do their preaching in public schools, buildings, you are persecuting them.
If you disagree with a right winger and have facts to show why you disagree, you are a communist Marxist fascist soshuuullist (their standard swear words) and if you dare teach children facts, you are incriminating them.
One hopes medical science will, one day, find a cure for both the faulty logic gene and the language salad gene.

I can see where knowledge would be considered indoctrination by Santorum. There is hope though. Home schooling and church should deprogram them.

Let me clarify. Home schooling is very difficult and very few people are qualified to do it right. Too many people are doing it because they refuse to properly fund their local schools, or do not want an education that does not use religion as a base. I apologize for my generalization KB.

The fact that Mr Santorum is standing there, saying that, proves he is wrong.

That is so very funny. The GOP has been working very hard to undermine our education system since the 60s because thinking people do tend to be more liberal --- not because of indoctrination, but rather because critical thinking moves one away from superstition and ritual.
