BA: I Don’t Want My Girl To Hate Obama

Brent Andrews: I don’t know how to tell my family, ‘Please don’t indoctrinate my child against the president.’ Right now I’m trying to think of a way to bring my little girl back around at least to neutral. I don’t want her going to school saying she hates the president. Her teacher, who likely as not will be a black woman, will think I taught her that, naturally, and I voted for the guy. The other thing is, when the president was from the other party, all my little girl ever heard out of me was love your country, love your president, whether I thought the guy was worth a nickle or not. I think children should be left out of some conversations.

Question: Have you tried to pass on your political beliefs to your children? Or do you let them decide for themselves which political party or cause to support?
