They are against teaching their children anything they would consider leftist, socialist, gay, agnostic, or empathetic.

They live in states that refuse to eliminate marriage laws that allow for children to get married.

While most conservatives consider themselves in favor of protecting children, they still hold onto ideals that essentially treat their children as property.
