Standing Up to Liberalism in High School

This seems kinda lame, when I was in high school no one talked about politics or the president, what type of friends/associates do you hang around. Maybe in college I can understand the liberal tag, but in high school? I think you are reading into yourself too much study and do some sports and join the chess club. You are too young to worry about politics, worry about making yourself better spiritually, mentally, academically, etc.

If only you could have taken a page from this young man's book and focused a bit more on high school English, Afro. The abundance of grammatical errors in your post indicates either a distaste for proofreading or a tenuous grasp on the English language. Mr. Judd Rosenblatt is just beginning his high school journey and already his prowess at written expression is light years beyond your own.

I admire Mr. Rosenblatt for his courage and tenacity in the face of so great an opposition. Evidently, Judd Rosenblatt has the courage of his convictions.

A tip of the hat to you, Judd Rosenblatt.

First of all I am on a forum I will not carry my MLA grammatical checklist to impress those on the Internet much less . Second you probably couldn't hold a candle to my academic work, and third try to attack my argument instead of me personally. A word to those who spend their lives on this forum, try to attack the argument instead of the person as it really negates any point you are trying to make. Now to counter your idiocy with ad hominem attacks(since that seems to be the only appropriate way around here) the abundance of logic errors in your post either shows that you have a distaste for reality or you are just plain stupid.

Thats good that you don't immerse yourself in that type of environment 24 hours a day. It seems that you are pretty active and I praise you for that but what I am trying to say is that you should enjoy being young while you can because the road gets a little bumpy as you go along. Now I went to Catholic School and we where pretty conservative so talking about politics wasn't really warranted as we all had similar views.

Keep up the good work and stay conservative and never compromise your views, but remember no matter how pure your ideology is politics in general make people ill willed(I believe). Put more faith in Christ and your family and your own ideology. Don't let people tell you this is what a conservative is and let them try to make you adhere to it. Be strong and be your own man.

Also a word of advice most of those kids probably will end up being conservative in the end as the #1 goal of adolescents is to be defiant of those who have authority(its only a stage unless you are a true LIEbral). It seems you have your head on right and I have nothing but high hopes for you. God Bless.

I feel his pain. I'm a high school senior with AP Government/Economics this semester. At least once a week the "teacher" bring up leftist political cartoons belittling the President, when I asked to see a cartoon parody of Ketchup Boy I was completely ignored. She even went as far as to put Fascism in between Conservatism and Libertarianism in a political spectrum. I didn't let that one go unchecked. I argued that there is no way Fascism falls anywhere near that area and that she was unfairly smearing my beliefs. Her only arguement was that "they (conservatives/libertarians and fascists) have similar goals." When I inquired as to what those goals were, she backpeddaled and said she "didn't have time for this." ...there was an hour left in class. My "teacher's" friend that has a classroom next to her told our class that "Jaques Chiraq is a wacko right-wing fascist" for the whole muslim veil thing. Public education is no longer education. It is blatant indoctrination. The mission of these people is not to prepare us for life, but to turn us all into good little marching leftists. I for one, am fighting back and throwing a small dam in the river of kool-aid she's spewing. I could not care any less if my grade suffers.
