Why should five year olds have to ask, how can I make a difference, and be taught about activism and reform?

It’s not their responsibility. It’s manipulation of children for political ends.

The present day problems needing reform are going to very selectively presented.

*************

Its indoctrination at the earliest stages of childhood. Its despicable, but this is how the Left rolls.

A five year old’s problem solving skills are improving by the day. He/she can probably tell you that money is needed to buy things or gas is needed to help cars move. She can describe an object’s position in space – he/she will say the ball is “under” the table. He/she is also starting to grasp the basics of addition and subtraction. He/she probably knows four colors or more and can distinguish uppercase letters and lowercase letters. He/he seeks creative solutions to problems and might approach solutions differently than you would.

But these basic skills do not qualify a 5 year old, with approximately a 90% developed brain, to evaluate a problem that adults haven’t been able to recognize and/or comprehend since the end of the civil war over 150 years ago. You might as well ask them questions and try to teach them about nuclear fusion. Their limited understanding of the failures of their fellow man isn’t even a focal point, yet. But they are supposed to decipher the failure of man instructed by someone who already failed? Blind leading the blind.
