Timmy, I've understood Nahkoe's comments the same -- but they seemed to go beyond that, based on her statements. It was a straw man, if you will -- of course prevention is helpful, but the other part of this entire discussion was the "dangers" that are inherent with higher learning. The casualties are great. Some have "died" and others just simply walk "maimed."
Thinking idealistically that the average parent is going to keep up with Doctor Smith at Princeton University is wishful at best. Our parenting can help them 1) think critically, 2) prep them for what they will encounter as best we can and 3) equip them with a foundation. I'm certainly not arguing against that.
If I've misunderstood Nahkoe, then forgive me. It seems parenting was a fix-all, while not acknowledging the "evil professors" as one poster put it.
If this was a misunderstanding and we are arguing parallel points, well how 'bout that...
And again, what exactly is the course of action you are recommending?

That wasn't real the point I was responding to. I think her course of action was fine. I think her words, in giving her course of action, betrayed her other opinions.

I see.

Ok. I'm curious.
What other opinions?

God did it for us. Out of sheer generosity he put us in right standing with himself. A pure gift. He got us out of the mess we're in and restored us to where he always wanted us to be. And he did it by means of Jesus Christ. ~Romans 3:24 from The Message
It was words like I'll paste here that set me off a little. Instead of agreeing and saying "universities can be a hell hole, and we as parents have got to do something about it." The response I got was "it's not big deal, no different than co-workers or preachers being wrong." Very marginalized my point to make your own, which I agreed with.
I think if Universities are a graveyard for Christians, Christianity is seriously lacking.
What is going to be taught at college is pretty openly available for parents to look at and know about before the kids get anywhere near college aged.
You're saying that a professor who doesn't believe the scriptures are inspired is "evil"?

RESPONSE: Yeah, I actually am serious.
I don't think their preaching is any more of a problem than preachers preaching. Preachers are as wrong about their worldviews are as professors are.
I haven't seen a unified Christian worldview.
I'm not saying it's not a problem. But it's no more of a problem than going out into the world anywhere else. I work fast food. I see it and hear it there as much as I do at school.
