Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy accused Harvard University of indoctrinating students with ideas that run counter to his Christian values, raising concerns about whether his own daughter should attend the prestigious Ivy League school."I don't want them to get one viewpoint," Duffy said on an episode of the Department of Transportation-sponsored YouTube series The Great American Roadtrip."I want them to get a lot of different viewpoints, but I don't want them fed only one viewpoint that's contrary to the way my kids were raised."The comments come as Duffy's daughter, Paloma, expressed interest in attending Harvard University, saying she couldn't turn down the opportunity if accepted.CONSERVATIVE RADIO HOST CALLS OUT ANA NAVARRO'S CLAIM ABOUT SEAN DUFFY'S ROAD TRIP IN HEATED CLASHSecretary of Transportation Sean Duffy is sworn-in by U.S.
