Education makes you more likely to stick to your views more often than not.
I think that is true in the majority of cases.
But what if you have a kid raised by conservatives and goes to one of the most liberal and diverse schools (the most diverse in the SUNY system) in a blue state. Basically the textbooks have been written by liberals, taking a one-sided approach, a few I can name of off the top of my head:
A text book called "Labor's Untold Story", written by a union (United Machine, Radio & Electrical Workers, I believe associated with the IWW)
"American Democracy in Peril", liberal author
"The Politics of Power: A Critical Introduction to American Government", liberal author
Call me naive.... but my views on have changed completely, at least fiscally I've moved to the left
