Michelle Obama calls on teachers to help students register to vote

Cool example from over 20 years ago, bro.

What is partisan about registering to vote ?

He won’t say… but he is worried about teens voting for some reason…

@FreeAndClear

How dare you teach my children!

You misspelled “raise”.

@WuWei

They are agents of the state. Should teachers be teaching how to register for a concealed carry permit?

How are you going to separate the 18 year-olds?

We teach civics so I’m not seeing the problem here… There is no state where an 18 year old can get a concealed carry permit… Teaching high school students to vote doesn’t have to be limited to 18 year olds…

[WuWei]

@Ex-Pat

As long as it’s legal, more of this should be done.

But I know, registering young people is bad.

However, old people who can’t even remember what they had for lunch voting is perfectly fine.

Fine. Then teachers can teach them how to register for concealed carry permits.

Looks like a lot of blue states to me.

Bingo!!! Georgia is the exception but Kemp stalled the consequence for a bit with his voter purge…

Then neither does teaching them to get a CCW.

Should we teach them how to apply for Medicare while we are at it? Why would you oppose having lots and lots of 18 year olds registered?

[FloridaYankee]

Alaska isn’t a blue state, but still, the huge majority are.

Equating voter registration with concealed carry. Weak.

Sure. And sign up for the military.

I’m not. I am opposed to teachers getting anymore involved in politics or anything else except teaching the skills the students need to survive in the white patriarchy wealth inequality society.

Teaching them to register in those states that don’t automatically register will help them survive in the “white patriarchy wealth inequality society”…

Both are rights. Both are civics. Both can be complicated if you can’t follow simple instructions. In fact, the CCW process is quite a bit more complicated (by design) than registering to vote.

How are they not equatable?

What’s different about them?

No it won’t. What if they vote wrong?

[FreeAndClear]

They absolutely should be teaching them how to exercise any right.

You can never go wrong voting for (D)…

And there we have it. Maybe we can restrict it to union members only.

As long as they support legalized abortion voting D is always wrong.

Or register them for a union WHILE they register to vote… I like your style…
