I remember participating in one of those kiddie elections and the teacher was so upset with the way my friends and I voted for a conservative that she disallowed our votes.
i remember those too,the first one i ever did was in 1992,Clinton vs Bush 1.I didnt understand why we had to do that.But i have a VERY vivid memory of the teachers talking about Clinton,i also remember a teacher asking us a question “Do you love your grandparents,if Clinton is not elected your grandparents will die because they not be able to buy medience”-i remember it because it scared me.
