[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have ANY of the Duggar adult children attended university? Or their spouses?

Seems like all sons are either in construction/contractors or used car sales and all the daughters/wives are SAHMs with no formal education.  How can this be?  I can see some going this path, but NO ONE wanted to be any other type of professional?? [/quote]

Jill’s husband and Jinger’s husband each graduated from a four year college. Jill’s husband is currently in law school.  John’s wife has her LPN.  Jessa’s husband is currently attending community college. I don’t know about the rest of them. [/quote]

In America, we go to college, not to university. [/quote]

The evangelicals I know encourage their kids not to go to college and learn a trade instead, or do sales. Women don't need an education if all they will be doing is having kids--at least it's what they seemed to think. I think they know that if their kids are exposed to others or new ideas, they may not be evangelicals any more. [/quote]

Weird. I grew up in an evangelical community in Iowa and all the girls who qualified for college academically went. Even if to religious schools. [/quote]

Garden variety evangelicals and conservative Christians are perfectly fine with education. I grew up in small town Ohio with lots of conservatives and the vast majority of my graduating class went to college, as did students from the local religious HS’s. There’s plenty of religious conservatives out there who are perfectly ok with college for both sons and daughters. But the Duggars aren’t just “Christian Conservatives” or “evangelicals.” They are fundamentalists. Then you have the added cult-like/pseudo-religion ATI on top of that, and they are actively hostile to education. People who want full membership in ATI homeschool their kids from ATI’s materials and that in no way even prepares a kid for college. I think most of the Duggars “graduated high school” around age 16 and probably had a 9th grade education at best. [/quote]
