I've always tried to raise WBill Jr. apolitically. He should be a kid, he has the rest of his life to worry about politics. I try to correct things that are wrong - for instance he asked me about the new AlGore movie as he saw a trailer, and I took the opportunity to talk about all of the climate predictions that haven't come true (it's quite a list) and how it's important to form your own opinions based on facts, rather than whoever yells loudest.

But otherwise, I figure that if I do a good job with his upbringing, he'll come to the correct conclusions. So far, he has, as he's more conservative than me. We'll see.

His friends? I dunno, and I'm not sure about the scout that I talked to. His dad is a millennial, and mostly on the fence. If I had to politically characterize all of the kids in Wbill Jr's troop, I'd say that they have a strong dislike for politicians in general.

Which, is likely the best attitude to have of all, IMO.

Agreed. Also, it sounds like your strategy is turning out a good young man.
