"KIDS PICK THE PRESIDENT"

In mock elections organized by Nickelodeon TV, kids have accurately predicted the President-elect since 1988, with just one exception, in 2004.

In 2016, their voting came out:

53% Hillary Clinton
36% Donald Trump
11% Gary Johnson
(Jill Stein was not included)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kids_Pick_the_President

"If Kids Ruled The World, Hillary Clinton Would Win The Election In A Landslide"

"Although about 153,000 kids from every state and the District of Columbia cast votes, the mock election is not scientifically representative of the U.S. population. The purpose of the activity is encourage civic engagement among students."

As an ex-teacher, most kids are slammed by the liberal staff. At Colorado U. 96% of the staff are very far left liberals. What do you think the kids learn?? My oldest daughter went there and told us of the brainwashing the profs do. It was on the absurd level. They even had a prof who said he was native American and was later proved to be a total fraud. Most of the kids still stuck up for him. That is how bad the education system has become. Now you have all these millennials getting out of college with their Bernie Sanders view of the world and then they hit the job market, turning into whiney babies because the world is not so accepting of their social beliefs. If Hillary wins, wonder how she is going to handle the millennials. She certainly cannot F bomb them to death like she does to her Secret Service personnel.

Yup! Programmed to the core with so much propaganda and no idea of who they are or where they came from. No history with any truth to it at all. Completely conditioned to be sheeple and slaves to the elite! Home school your children and teach them the truth. It was so bad at the state run university that my son said he didn't dare open his mouth during discussions designed to program the students in fear he'd be kicked out and/or mulled by the kids. When I visited the campus, I could immediately tell how so liberal the whole was; it was more than obvious.

Kids should be raised to be independent thinkers. To me, this is the job of parenting. If this is done, there is no reason to talk or worry about the teachers or professors in schools or universities. The liberal slant on teaching has been complained about for the last 50 years, to my recollection.
So, I believe good thinking should be taught at home to begin with. That's my responsibility as a father.

And once again, keep in mind that according to the perception of knuckle dragging Tea Baggers and alt-right crowd, anything to the left of Attila the Hun is defined as "very far left liberals."

I agree completely. Here's the truth though. I helped out in my child's grammar school and parents that took an interest in their children's education, the children were good students and excelled in their work in school and in life. Parents that didn't, the child was far behind and to the point of being incapable of learning. I read in the hallway to those most abandoned by their parents trying to help them. The hardest part; some of the kids smelled so bad it was hard to stay there and read to them. From what I observed; about 5-10% of the children had parents who took an interest in their children's education and did their part as they should. About 30-50% took a partial interest and did a limited amount of interest in their children's education and the rest did little to nothing; some so bad they never bothered to bathe their children. When in college at a state western university, my child was afraid to open his mouth in class discussions for fear of being attacked by both the faculty and students. My child knows what is really going on in the world and he finds that even less of the younger generation cares less what goes on in government. They think everything is perfect and most can't even tell you the capital city of their state, while taking in every lie from the mass media and holleyweird.

Sensitive subject for me. Many years ago when my children were in grade school, they came home on election day and told me who I had to vote for. I asked them how they came up with that idea. All three of them told me that they had spent the entire school day discussing the democratic candidate. They were not even sure who was running republican. At the end of the day, the school took a vote. 100% of the vote was for the democrat. They were then told to go home and tell their parents they needed to vote democrat. I asked my children how the vote could possibly be 100% as I would have expected my children to use their own judgement after knowing the positions of BOTH candidates. At first I thought it was one big waste of a school day but later found that it was a good lesson on making sure you know both sides of a story. They have never forgotten that lesson.

Even a child can tell if a mentally challenged person is running for president. These whiney little bitches who call themselves Trump supporters are funny!

"later found that it was a good lesson on making sure you know both sides of a story."

This is a fact that all children should be taught very early in their lives. If capable to look at both sides, thinking can change dramatically. Also, the willingness to do some research to find out what the facts are. Learning that facts are based on truth, not opinions is a must.
