Take it with a grain of salt.
Or at least realize it's maybe somewhat true but not always. For instance I've got a brilliant son who is a libertarian-style Republican and conspiracy theorist (but highly functional with an MBA and working as an IT director of a city, married with five kids) and another bright son who is a conservative evangelical Christian also married with five children).
Both parents are liberal activists (and progressive Christians), and grandparents were too (at least on my side) so we don't know how it happened.
