Young Republicans Club?

If any don’t, nothing is stopping someone from starting one. I dispute the premise of the post, too. I doubt seriously that “every” school has a young Democrats club. Or that there is any lack of diversity of thought. Or is this another whiny post by a conservative who is frustrated that no one outside their fringe echo chamber is worked up about the fake issues and lies that just cost Fox News nearly $800 million in a legal settlement? |

My friend's son wanted to start one at RM and I said if he needed help this liberal and my conservative H would help. She said, why would he need help and I said usually they need a teacher or adult to lead / sponsor it. I sponsored my nieces cooking club one year.
Anyway, I said that we would want it to be conservative not tea party Republican club and that would be in the description of the club. We could discuss the differences and how the tea party was trying to destroy the party. This was pre-Trump. She a Republican, was like duh what is the difference. Anyway, her son made a pokemon club I think in the end. |

When someone makes a comment that looks ignorant or in bad faith, let's try to elevate the conversation to inform and assist each other. Getting into a fight with a PP doesn't bother the OP, but it subjects everyone else, including your friends, to a boring, frustrating, repetitive unoleasantment.
Anyway, regardless of your position on current politicians and platform, the Republican and Democratic parties aren't going away soon. And many of the ideals and policies you hold dear, as well as ideas and behaviors you find deeply wrong, were championed by both parties in the last. These parties are made of people, and people change and new people are born and old people die. Within the bounds of MCPS policy and MD law, getting people together to discuss a political party and its future isn't a bad thing. I hope that our young people could learn about the history and present of our politics parties, and discuss and debate with each other within a Party and between parties. A future politician or activist would do well to join all the politics party clubs. |

Hilarious. I live in Montgomery County and have watched the Democrat leadership attack the middle class for the past decade. They have done it in overt ways (taxes, taxes and more taxes) and in less overt ways (housing policies, destroying what was once a great public school system). It would be great to have some balance and so would love to see a Republican Club at my kid’s super liberal high school. |

Is your kid a Republican? If so, how about taking some personal responsibility and suggesting to your kid that they start one? Or, maybe there aren't any kids at your kid's super liberal high school who are interested in a Republican Club. In that case, do you think there still ought to be one, for "balance"? |

| If you move away from DC you’ll find much more political diversity. |

DP.. more than likely, any kid in an MCPS HS would be afraid to start a R club for fear they would be bullied and ostracized. I voted for Biden, but based on some comments I have heard from my DS and his friends about DEI, affirmative action, and such, they aren't so happy with progressive policies at the moment. If progressives aren't careful, they will turn off some of the younger men in our society and push them to the other side. IMO, it would be good for both sides to have a respectful, thoughtful dialogue with each other. As it is, DS said that if they make any mention of anti-progressive policies, they get reamed in class by the girls. DS doesn't care *that* much about politics, but they can't have a thoughtful conversation because some of the progressives shut them down. There is no room for discussion with some of the progressives, and that is not right. |

The argument here seems to be that the girls shouldn't disagree with the boys, lest the boys get upset and become Republicans. |

Lol exactly. He can’t back up his beliefs and girls need to smoke and me nicer and passive… sound like a Republican to me. |

I don't know why but we need more than one political party represented in schools, even if we don't agree with the politics. Not all Republicans are Trump MAGAs |

When they pick you that means they secretly have a crush on you. 🥰 Teachers should be enforcing respectful behavior in class. Beyond that, kids need to be able to handle vocal disagreement. If one can't, they need more social-emotional education. |

Because democrats won't arrest criminals, keep the streets free of mentally unstable people, stop students from vaping in the bathroom, or let high performers stand out. |

Why do “we” need that? Go start this club if you so desire, pp. You’ll get 3 members at most. |
