In reply to the discussion: The Demon-Haunted World [View all]Happy Hoosier
(7,296 posts)10. I hope so.
That was my experience. I grew up in a conservative household and college transformed my world view.
I hope that happens for some of these kids. Indiana does suffer a brain drain as well. Hoosier kids that get a good education tend to want to move elsewhere. I don't blame them. Fortunately, there are little islands of blue, but as a whole, this state really illustrates the bizarre attitudes in some red states. I grew up in a blue state that values investment in the public good. Here, way to many see crumbling roads, cracking bridges, and schools that desperately need repairs as "normal." And they can;t understand why anyone would want to live in a "high tax" blue state.
