Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST :  

I (16M) am in high school and planning on where to go for college. My parents and I have differerent political opinions: they are both right-wing while I am moderate left. I listen and am receptive to my parent's opinions, and they listen back to a very short extent. Usually, my mother conveys that I am not experienced in the world and therefore do not have much of a base to stand on (not exact words). She also cuts me off most of the time. I get the feeling that they would rather me be right-wing, but I digress.

After school, my mother began discussing an article we read on taking down a statue at Yale University.  The author disagreed with it, describing it as censorship. My mother wholeheartedly agreed, while I found myself at odds with some of what was said in the passage. Today, she mentioned in the car that she would never send me to Yale as a result. I started questioning this, asking if she would not send me to any college that this kind of occurrence happened to, and if this would be widened to any liberal-leaning university. She responded by saying that I could apply to any college I wanted to, but she would not pay for a college that "this liberal stuff" happened to, and I would have to earn everything myself. (I don’t have much money, and I believe most US colleges are at least partially liberal.)

I began to object at this point, starting a number of my sentences with "Are you kidding me?" and following up to most by saying "So you're not going to send me to any college you find an objection to?" and "That is really, really stupid." (by objection, I mean political disagreement.) I assured her she could have any opinion she wanted, but would not let it impact me. Now, she went on to tell me she had a right to voice her own opinion, and believed this extended to her payment, meaning she would refuse to give money to any institution that she disagreed with. I began to get visibly angry, telling her "Are you fucking kidding me?" and " I'm going to apply to Yale" and "I'm not going to let you fuck over my life" (I don't remember what the exact words were.) She began laughing as she asserted her position, saying she didn't want me to be brainwashed at a college like this. (She made one or two references to George Orwell's *1984.)* I (semi-angrily) told her my position again, and said I needed to go to the local library to work on my schoolwork.

In the house, my mother attempted to continue the argument. As the situation escalated, he called up my father at work, and explained to him that I was "cursing at her and calling her stupid". I didn't hear what my father was saying, but based on the garbled voice on the other end that I could hear, he was still calm. My mother also said that "this is what happens when you cut off the oxygen supply" (college tuition.) When she hung up, we continued semi-arguing, and finally she screamed the same thing at the top of her lungs.After that, I left.

AITA?
