In high school, Peter Buttigieg began thinking about running for political office, and he became senior-class president, valedictorian, and president of the school’s chapter of Amnesty International, where he objected to the group’s focus on “Ay-rabs.” Later, Buttigieg wrote an essay commending the courage of then-congressman [[Bernie Sanders]].  Being invited to the JFK library, he met Senator [[Ted Kennedy]] who offered him an internship. Buttigieg was accepted to Harvard University where he became the student president at Harvard’s Institute of Politics. The (very liberal) ''New Yorker'' described this role  as being “sought by the most ambitious of the exceptionally ambitious.”  Buttigieg succeeded retired senator David Pryor (one of Bill Clinton’s key political mentors) whom he thanked for providing “the political education we really needed.”  Buttigieg wrote a regular column for the ''Harvard Crimson'', in one of which raved about rap star [[Eminem]] who was ‘dumping it on White America,’ building a new narrative — aggressively American, abused, angry and alarming.

Buttigieg obtained a [[Rhodes Scholarship]] which enabled him to enter Oxford, where he says he found that supply and demand cannot be expected to deliver fair prices or efficient outcomes in many situations. Buttigieg graduated with the highest grade possible.

Consistent with the liberal social gospel, which gives a low priority to the teachings of Christ (while marginalizing the teachings of Paul etc. which were inspired by the Spirit of Christ) on personal moral purity in preference to acts such as feeding the (genuinely) needy, Buttigieg criticized right-wing Christians for "saying so much about what Christ said so little about, and so little about what he said so much about."  Which, like [[Barack Obama]], indicates ignorance of the totality of what Christ taught and how He did so, and the context of His social actions and the principals of sound interpretation,<ref> [https://www.frc.org/issueanalysis/leviticus-jesus-and-homosexuality-some-thoughts-on-honest-interpretation] Leviticus, Jesus, and Homosexuality: Some Thoughts on Honest Interpretation</ref> as well as the evidence that the evangelical church has been very substantially engaged in providing humanitarian aid,<ref> [http://www.gordonconwell.edu/ockenga/research/documents/USMissionsSurvey_FINALReport.pdf] US Missions Survey FINAL Report</ref> and encourages sacrificial giving to help others,  which evangelicals engage in more of than  other major groups.<ref>John Ronsvalle and Sylvia Ronsvalle, The State of Church Giving through 2004: Will We Will? 16th ed.
