(Washington Stand) Are left-leaning parents better at passing on their values to their children? The results of one recent study seem to indicate that they are, especially for their daughters. But there’s a better explanation, one articulated millennia ago by God’s Word.

According to a 2023 poll by the Survey Center on American Life, 62% of U.S. adults raised by Democratic parents were Democrats, while 57% of U.S. adults raised by Republican parents were Republican. The overall partisan gap is substantial, but not huge; however, it grows much larger among women aged 18-29. Among the youngest group of U.S. adults, 69% of men and 73% of women raised by Democrats are Democrats, while 67% of men and only 44% of women raised by Republicans are Republicans.
