You are a big optimist .
These kid are again forced to swallow Global Warming in high school . They NEVER hear the other side.Believe me , it’s taught like it’s Bible true.
While I was in HS, I was a pretty hard liberal. Then I went to college and found out what Liberalism was all about. My "Click" occured during my Freshman year. There was a radical feminist group on campus called "Women Against Rape" (who wouldn't be, but that's beside the point...). Among other things, they advocated mandatory castration of all men at birth.
My parting of the ways with liberalism occurred when the campus administration not only gave these man hating, dangerous women their blessing, but funded their organization with *MY* student fees. It was a hard realization to come to, but it was like a light coming on.
So, There's always hope. Don't give up on the next generation just yet.
