Parents Indoctrinating Children

Wow! That's all I can say to the BYU/Utah Rivalry. I thought it would be fun to wear my BYU shirt on Friday, the day before the big game, to show support for my Cougars. Well, I was rudely awakened when I had to almost take my shirt off because it was causing so much craziness at my school. Kids were fighting before school over the rivalry. Almost every child was either wearing BYU or Utah gear and each parent that brought their child to school was as well. And I must say that it was dominately Ute. These kids don't even know anything about the schools, they just hear their parents. These parents indoctrinate their children with ideas about their school of choice and the children support it to the death. Kids were telling me they hated my shirt and that Utah was going to kick butt...which they did. All I know is that people need to teach their kids more important things like math facts and reading instead of so much time indoctrinating them with ideas about their college teams.

I've seen weird stuff on facebook too. . . like a Ute alum(who is LDS) knocking BYU's honor code or something. What the flip does that have to do with football?

That part about math facts is coming from a true teacher! :D
Sorry for all the hassle but you are in Salt Lake Territory.......
Love ya Heather! Sorry BYU couldn't cut it...not! Kidding! I'm glad you wore your BYU shirt, that's the true spirit. Don't need to worry about the indoctrinating.
