By then I already had a well grounded testimony of the gospel. As I sat through the various classes that had a liberal, progressive, humanist, atheist or feminist perspective, I took it all in good humor. I read through the materials they assigned me, and gave them the answers they were looking for. And I graduated just fine. They never knew that I was a religious conservative. But deep down inside I knew better. Unfortunately, I noticed that my classmates aged 18-22 were like gullible sponges, soaking up all of that propaganda and programming. For some reason they all bought into it—hook, line and sinker. They’ve all moved on with life now to advocate progressive and alternative lifestyles on their own. I now see that a fundamental part of the Adversary’s strategy has been to gain control of the schools and universities that educate our youth. I’m so thankful and grateful that I attended college late in life, after I had already obtained a solid foundation and testimony by the power of the Holy Ghost.
