My 9 yr old DS cracks me up
I leave for work before my kids get on the bus. My 9 yr old got his own phone for Christmas strictly to communicate with me and DH. This morning he texts me, "Mom, can we have a special dinner tonight? It's not anyone's birthday, but tomorrow the country begins again and starts to become a better place. So, I think we should order in and you should let us have Sprite. Biden would want it that way." 
The kids are only allowed Sprite on their birthdays or a holiday. How can I say no? 
Here's to new and better beginnings!!

Hey, if Biden wants him to have Sprite, how can you deny him?

Re: My 9 yr old DS cracks me up
Amazing. My 8 yr old spontaneously listed off 15 reasons trump is bad on Sunday. Number 6 was he cheated at elections, number 3 was he eats steak with ketchup. We just suggested she switch up the order.

Kids mimic what they hear from parents and teachers. So either you are speaking at home or the teacher, who should not be speaking about politics is speaking at school.

Children absorb the world around them...from all sources be it media, parents, teachers.
They mimic things like compassion, tolerance. love, acceptance when they are surrounded by those things.
They learn to question the world, draw conclusions, develop critical thinking when they are safe and given an arena to speak them.
These children are showing great life skills!

So who teaches kids about the Constitution, elections, Bill of Rights, etc?
Other kids in the back corner of the playground?

Their political views should never be said. Teaching history is one thing, pushing your own opinions on students should not be permitted.

And once they learn about Poly Sci in school, you don't think they go to Youtube/SnapChat/Twitter/etc to learn on their own?
My son is older, but he's always watching news on his own. Kids nowadays aren't forced to only watch the TV stations that their parents watch. They have much more availability to learn on their own and make their own decisions. DS watches different politics than I watch, and we have meaningful discussions.
And History is different than Poly Sci. The 1776 Report is trying to push a particular political view onto school kids....

My 9 yr old DS cracks me up
I can assure you my son's 4th grade teacher is not speaking about her political beliefs in school. However, he is very intelligent and very interested in current events. He often asks us about current events and the world. We are honest with him, while being careful not to scare him. He does not know just how many Americans have died from COVID, he does not know just how vile what happened on January 6th was. But- he does know that for the last four years we have someone in the White House that I DO NOT want him ever to look up to or be like. We used it as an opportunity to teach him about kindness, love, inclusion, empathy and humility- all of which Trump lacks.
Yes, my son- all of my children- know that the current president is not anything any of us should ever hope to be like. And I don't give a crap if they repeat it and shout it from the rooftops.

Even in College? That would be highly unusual. Most college professors do share their positions and thereby reveal their leanings...it's not so much as pushing their ideals, but presenting them to expand the mind of the students.
I can think of a bunch off the top of my head that I had that were Republican, Democrat, Indep.
Maybe it depends on your major.

Many push their ideals. Teachers have been suspended this year just for that.

Why should politics not be taught in school? That would mean that current events to some extent, should not be taught in school.
How far do you go with not teaching politics? Do you keep the American Revolution or the Civil War and dump the New Deal?
Do you stop teaching judicial process because it involves one of the branches of government which are political in some sense?
You mean teachers and schools should not have bias opinions that they share as facts. An example would be a teacher stating that Trump won the 2020 election but it was stolen from him and teaching that as fact. Where as a teacher could share the conspiracy theories and Trump's coup and use the above as example of dangerous rhetoric. Can you see the difference?

guess it depends on the major and if the college kids are delicate snowflakes. I was fine having professors with different views. I learned a lot of good points from them that I wouldn't have otherwise.

Are you really this unaware of how skewed our version of history is???
My daughter has learned her political views at home. I’m proud of the kind, compassionate and strong girl I’m raising. The ketchup was a bit of a joke but she made real points on her list about the environment, discrimination, intl affairs, and belief in science.

Kids are extremely perceptive and curious little creatures. They care about the world around them as they should because it's their world too. You can instill all the anti-bullying campaigns you want, but you cannot hide from the fact that the president himself is a bully.
