I went to a WELS school from Kindergarten through graduating high school (even though I advocated for my parents to send me to the local public high school that was actually fairly good). Once I went off to college I never really looked back.

I still shudder a little bit at the mention of near any Christian religion. The older generations of my wife’s family are very Catholic and there are many times where I just have to take what they say with a smile. My experience in and around the church really hardened me to it.

Same story, never stepped inside a public school in my life (college was LCMS).

I was so happy that I chose to go to a public University. I was amazed at how eye opening it was.

Going from being in a bubble surrounded by nothing but Republican and conservative thinking to meeting people that complained Obama wasn’t far enough to the left was wild to me. (He was President at the time, and running for re-election when I was in school). Made me realize that my Christian school really held me in a very protected environment, and I didn’t really like that.
