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.

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

because they know they'll just get attacked.

It is hard to have a respectful discussion with people who choose not to participate in a discussion where other people disagree with them.

These folks are setting themselves for disappointment in 2024 when they refuse to leave their echo chamber

Biden will be 1 term for sure

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

Yes, you are right. It's not 70%. There are only 43% of people that approve of the job he's doing.

But my prediction still stands

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.

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.

"You are wrong" is not reasoned discussion, but it is also not a personal attack.

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

"You are white and male" is a personal attack now?

Thank goodness.

Lol another person who doesn’t fact check.

Why not create a fake stats club.

How do you fact check a prediction?

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.

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.

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

? it's from personal experience. He knows that he will get attacked by the girls because it has happened in the past, and he sees it happening to other boys whenever they express their opinions that is counter to the progressive girls. He doesn't care enough to discuss it further.

Personal attack: you are the reason behind the problems in this country
Not a personal attack: [demographic characteristics] are the reason behind the problems in this country

It's the same as not being allowed to talk about slavery in the US, in school, on grounds that almost all slave-owners were white, and that might make white people feel bad, and we can't have that.

Thank goodness.

Lol another person who doesn’t fact check.

Why not create a fake stats club.

How do you fact check a prediction?

the prediction was based on a false stat.

Have you met Gen Z

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.

DP.. my son doesn't really care that much about politics, so he doesn't think it's enough of a big deal to share his views. But he knows that if he does, the girls will attack him. 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.

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

? it's from personal experience. He knows that he will get attacked by the girls because it has happened in the past, and he sees it happening to other boys whenever they express their opinions that is counter to the progressive girls. He doesn't care enough to discuss it further.

So (1) he perceives disagreement as an attack, and (2) he doesn't actually care that much?

They are belligerent and argumentative... kind of like some adults on here.

No, he doesn't care that much, but if people want diversity of thought, maybe think about not being so combative.

One can disagree without getting angry, but that's not what is happening. Like, look at how some people attack anyone who disagrees with progressive policies.
