10. The schools have NOTHING to do with it. It is upbringing.

Many, many of these people grew up in families that have always been Republican. Many of them are religious. It has NOTHING to do with public education, which is not an institution that is designed to tell kids what to think. I am very tired of the trashing of schools because of the way some people vote. The schools have NOTHING to do with this. I know because I have worked in them for nearly 30 years.

Racism and sexism aren't as a result of "education" as in schools. It is entirely because of the way many people are raised.
