This interview scares me but it doesn't surprise me. That liberal indoctrination of youth in many public school classrooms and through varied media platforms (movies, TV, Internet) should not be a surprise to anyone. I once read that most adults don't stray too far from the political views they held prior to the age of 20. Similar to many religious organizations, the statists realize that if you get them young they will likely hold onto those beliefs.
In the interview below Jack Chambless, an economics professor from Valencia College in Florida, tells of an assignment he gave his students on the first day of class. He asked them to write an essay on what the American Dream meant to them and what they expected from government to help them realize the American Dream. He said only 10% said they wanted the federal government to stay out of their lives as much as possible. 80% said they wanted the federal government to pay for their education, find them a job, help them buy a house, and give them money in retirement. Professor Chambless suggests that his students are simply parroting back what they have been indoctrinated to say from their years in public schools.
As I said, this interview scares me because I suspect Professor Chambless is correct.
FYI: Here is a link to an article from The Blaze about a teacher handing out a flyer that promoted communism as a being superior to capitalism.

The professor's assignment and the results he got fits with my own experience as a teacher, reader for various national tests, and parent. Thank you for posting this interview- I'll try to get a link up on my site to it too and hat tip you. :)
I keep getting the message "This video is no longer available"...
