He also blames a ridiculously exclusive school in Cali for the kids of ridiculouslu wealthy parents for her forming her own opinions about stuff. It's the same as other conservatives claiming college brainwashes kids.

Oh for sure. Extreme statements like that always ring as “They’re not how I want them to be so I’m going to call them radical”.
We want you to be well-educated, smart, and be a critical thinker that can think fo......wait....no, stop.....not like that. We want you to critically think....but also arrive at the same correct conclusions as us....wtf, are you doing?
