[quote=Anonymous]We are a "mixed" family politically (although on social issues such as gay marriage, even DH is liberal, he is more libertarian than religious conservative), and our DD was somewhere in the middle on many issues.   We just moved there for the HS, so by then what the parent's views are appropriately not very important and not hanging out with other parents much. But our DD felt that a wide range of views were welcomed and expressed, although kids of all stripes were pushed to justify their opinions. There was a pretty active if small Republican club.  My DD met and was a big fan of David Brooks (for some reason he spent a morning at GDS).  So at least in the HS this was not an issue, although my DD did roll her eyes at just about everything one of the diversity coordinators said and did, found her completely over the top but I think she left. Maybe more of an issue in LS where parents at least in the younger grades making more of the connections, and since kids not thinking for themselves as much, perhaps being a fish out of water politically between home and school could be more challenging.[/quote]
