Infuriated!
This board is flooded with accusations of leftist propaganda, and it's getting old. Well, today I experienced a bit of propaganda meself:
A few weeks ago, my girlfriend drive by a billboard here in town. On it is a picture drawn and colored by a child (I don't want to disclose his name, but he was 7 years old). My girlfriend recognizes the name as the brother of her friend. She bumps into the friend the other day, and asks about the billboard. Long story short, a group of activists came to the school, preached about anti-abortion garbage, gave the students some statistics, and asked them to each color a picture from the statistics. Apparently each student was directed throughout the entire ordeal.
Now, my girlfriend and I aren't a fan of abortion either, but this is ridiculous--FAR worse than singing a song about a now-historical figure.
From what I gather, this is causing community uproar (and we live in a mildly-conservative town); we'll see where this goes.

Kids shouldn't be used in any way for politics. They're too young to form an educated opinion, so why should their opinion count for anything?

I think it was a picture of a crying baby with some sort of statistic written in crayon. I should go take a picture.

It's not what you are saying; it's the fact that from an early age many kids are being brainwashed to think in a certain way. Their strategy is to get them at an early age so by the time they are adults and when their views do matter, their views are immovable because they were taught them, almost like doctrine, for many years before they were able to think for themselves. But since I'm a kid (15) I guess you shouldn't take my post seriously since my views don't matter...
