In this paper, Darren Sherkat and Alfred Darnell consider the effect of parents{\textquoteright} fundamentalist orientation on their childrens{\textquoteright} educational attainment. Using data from the Youth Parent Socialization Panel Study, Sherket and Darnell divide the sample to show how the influence of parents{\textquoteright} fundamentalism varies by gener of the child and by the youth{\textquoteright}s fundamentalism. They find that fundamentalist parents hinder the educational attainment of their nonfundamentalist children, and also that such parents are more supportive of male fundamentalist children{\textquoteright}s education that are non{\textendash}fundamentalist parents.}, author = {Darren Sherkat and Alfred Darnell} }
