Can homeschooling make you more tolerant?

A new study of students at a christian college found that the kids who had been homeschooled were more willing to extend basic civil liberties to their political/cultural opposites than those who had gone to public school. At The Conversation, scientist Robert Kunzman critiques this study and explains how it fits into the larger context of what we know about home schooling.

These findings are as highly suspect as they can get - any 'study' done at a 'christian' college is not worth the ink and paper they wasted on it. Those attending 'christian' colleges are THE LEAST likely to extend any civil liberties to anyone not of their same ilk, claiming otherwise is an outright lie and is not even bad science much less science.
