Having recently worked in public schools, the parents are worse
It’s been a decade since I graduated high school (and I hate that I’m old enough to say that) but I still remember very clearly that there were more liberal kids with really conservative parents than there were conservative kids with more conservative parents. And then after college, some of those leaning conservative kids became staunch liberals too. Plus, most of us were upper middle class, so we had quite the sample size too.
By and large, kids are more liberal than their parents, no matter how much their parents try to shelter and lead them to an evangelical Christian life.
