Health- you’re saying that girls in BY expect to be brainwashed, so that’s okay, but in college they don’t, so they get influenced.

Is the next step in that chain of reasoning that since girls know not to be brainwashed they should ignore everything they learn in BY? That would seem to be the only difference between BY and college. In both systems there are people who take all their opinions from those of their teachers, and in both there are the people who don’t pay attention at all, or pretend to in order, like you said, to pass the class.

So essentially, what’s your difference here? Is it that girls can just ignore what they hear in BY? Why not just go to a non-religious school, then? And why not just go into college forewarned that people there might (gasp!) actually have opinions unlike your own?
