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.

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.

again, you are raising a child who can't stand up for himself, back his beliefs with thoughtful discussion and expect women to be docile or describe them as rabid. Sad.

Biden will be 1 term for sure

It's hard to have a respectful discussion when people choose not to participate in the discussion.

Gee I wonder why girls would be “rabidly progressive”?

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.

You are exactly the type person that makes kids not want to have thoughtful discussions.

These girls (and you) cannot seem to have polite discussions. It's more like "if you don't agree with our views, then you are wrong and you cannot speak".

BTW, I have both a boy and girl, and at our dinner table discussions, we expect both the boy and girl to respect each other's views and discuss issues without attacking each other personally.

You and those girls obviously haven't learned that.

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?

WTF is wrong with you? These are HS kids just expressing their views and wanting to be heard. Do you blame every black teen for the rise in crime in MoCo since there have been several criminal activities in MCPS committed by black boys? No? Then why would you blame a HSer who has his own views about DEI and affirmative for whatever McConnell or McCarthy is doing?

Such a stupid comment you made.

And btw, one's political views don't always align 100% with their political party leaders.

Like I said, I voted for Biden, but I don't agree with everything he's done or says.

He's not interested in a combative discussion. Like I said, some of these girls don't know how to discuss issues politely and listen to the other side. Respect goes both ways.

It becomes personal when they start attacking him for his privilege of being male and not URM.

Making up imaginary combative discussions in his head... you might want to bring that up with his doctor.
