Schools today still have reading lists of Animal Farm, Fahrenheit 451, To Kill a Mockingbird, Lord of the Flies, 1984, etc. Younger generations also read more than the older generations. This fantasy going around that high school kids don't read the typical classics just isn't based in actual reality.

Same thing with college. This fiction that colleges are a bunch of "liberal indoctrination centers" isn't true. Studies / evidence back this up. The vast majority of professors simply don't speak about their political views in class. You're far more likely to go through university and get a total of one or two professors that push their views on students.

About the only case you could potentially make for this are mainly the Ivy league schools.

In that regard, I would guess kids will still be reading classic books in 2030.

So I was lucky enough to get through Undergrad without a professor pushing their own political views on anyone... However, I went back to school to get the hours to sit for the CPA exam and I had to retake a business law class (UCC code was added to the exam and so my credit from LSU didn't transfer)... The business law professor I took in night school was absolutely terrible almost got up and walked out several times but I was taking notes for others who were working and couldn't attend class some nights. I wrote in her review that I didn't pay tuition to hear her political views and that the only reason I was in the class was for the UCC code and she started that material off with "I hate this material so much but I have to teach it." - I asked that if she didn't want to teach the only material I needed she not teach that section of business law. I was pissed.
