We cant force our kids to think the same way we do, just as we cant force other adults to think or feel the same way we do.
Edit - as to her daughter being pregant, well if i was a few years younger and a bit (a lot) more single, i'd be a heartbroken kid!! |
These things always take time. Give it a month or two. My guess is she'll be a little more leinient on the sex-ed restrictions.
And although that may be true, Palin seems to have trouble keeping family issues separate from her politics (and her political influence). I recall her attempting to have the ex-husband of her sister fired from the police corps just because the two were going through a divorce. The police chief admitted that he was pressured to do so, too.
You can get them to think like you, though. Kids are like blank computer disks: they have to have information given to them before they can function. My nephew is one of the few Democratic kids at his high school. He says there are still some kids who go there that believe Bush is a good president, yet they can't justify why. The reason: their parents have told them Bush is a good president, so they believe it to be true, and they don't bother to question or investigate more to draw their own conclusion.
