The teacher in third-grade social studies class:
“Children, there’s going to be a presidential election soon. One candidate is Kamala Harris.”
Children: “Boo!”
Teacher: “Another candidate is Donald Trump.”
Children: “Yay!”
The teacher didn’t reveal her support for either candidate. I asked. I’m glad because I despise teachers who inflict their politics on students.
I remember doing “elections” at my (protestant church) school– we dropped little paper ballots in boxes. I think it was Bush v Dukakis. There were like three Dukakis votes in the entire school and they were probably just being contrarian. People willing to send their kids to church-affiliated private schools skew heavily republican 😉
