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.

I do not care who is vaping in the bathroom and neither do kids.

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

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

sigh...SMH

I won't argue with you.

Gen Z is concerned about climate change, gun safety, and equal rights for all persons. If they are active at all in politics, they are working directly on issues they care about. They are not hanging out in “Young ______” clubs mimicking mommy and daddy’s ideas.

What would Young Republicans care about?

* Tax cuts for billionaires and powerful corporations?
* Ways to erode the middle class more quickly?
* Reset social progress to 1950?

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"?

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.

So do you feel McCoonnel stealing supreme court justice spots or McCarthy's unwillingness to share a platform or create a budget is respectful and thoughtful?

OP: if this club was wanted it would already exist & be well-attended.

That's the problem. Nobody seems to be able to have a club for Republican's that can honestly discuss conservatives vs tea party vs MAGA. Nobody really knows what their party stands for anymore. They can't truthfully and honestly analyze the issues without their feeling getting hurt or becoming defensive.

Seriously how do you even discuss Ficker or Dan Cox. It's too pathetic.

We are talking about a place that put a Republican governor in office who can't run for president because his right hand man committed fraud and shot himself in the head.

Yes, we do. And in order to achieve that goal, we need more than one political party that appeals to teenagers. It would be a good idea for the Republican Party to start working on that, instead of attacking education on grounds that young people with education don't vote Republican.

I do not care who is vaping in the bathroom and neither do kids.

There is a whole thread about how the kids care and feel unsafe going to the bathroom at school.

You can thank Reagan for the mental health problems when he repealed the mental health systems act.

Speak for your own family. My kids are not scared but hate the smell of vaping and how now bathrooms are closed and they can't go between classes. So yes, it's a huge problem even though they are not "scared" about vaping.

Oh absolutely. There isn’t much room for ‘respectful discussion’ at my kid’s high school. Just look at this board!

My kid is still figuring out his political views but has definitely chosen to simply keep his thought to himself in class when it’s clear that the girls aren’t really interested in hearing any alternative points of view.

This PP is correct that the girls seem to be way more rabidly progressive and intolerant of diversity of thought.

Sure! Happy to place blame where it's due, but the need now is to fix it. Just saying kids care about feeling safe and many policies on BOTH sides have led them not to.

Do you ever think to fact check something before you agree with it?

If a Republican club at my kid’s MCPS high school actually was able to do something about the bathroom situation, I think it would get a HUGE amount of support. This is an issue for a lot of kids.

Not just the vaping. Take out the weed and the pills so that our kids can feel comfortable using the bathroom at any time of day in any public school building.

I don’t care what color or race the kids are. Enforce an EQUITABLE policy that comes down hard on all drug offenses in schools.
