The future of America
One out of three is pretty bad:
“Most high school seniors regard abortion as morally wrong and would severely limit a womans right to choose, according to a just-completed national poll carried out by researchers at Hamilton College. Also, members of the high school class of 2006 are twice as likely as adults to support legal recognition of gay marriages. The poll on ‘hot button’ political issues also found that support for strong handgun control measures is almost universal among high school seniors. Though liberal on gay and gun issues, this years high school graduates are conservative on the issues surrounding abortion.”
That’s a bit depressing to me. Note to the NRA: quit sending me junk mail and get to educating.

Grrrrr….. I wish we could teach more students in this country to mind their own damn business politically. Don’t like abortions? Don’t get one. Don’t like guns? Same song, different key. Don’t like gay marriage? Don’t marry one.

Buddy has it right – history isn’t taught any more. Plus the chillins are victims of what they see on their daily 6 hours of TV.

I just heard this reported on Rush (machinist in our department listens to him in the morning) as a big defeat to the left. Then he goes on only to mention the abortion stat and not the gun control stat. Talk about selective reporting, come on Rush.
