Im the same way...its honestly sad imo. This is why I RARELY post in this section
Me, being in highschool, COMPLETELY agree with you. To be honest, most students (or underclassmen at least) wouldnt care at all. Theyre just selfish and oblivious to the world around them IMHO. If something doesnt directly affect them, theyd just ignore it. Thats what Ive observed at least.
I would like to know a little about whats going around the world, but it may be hard to teach whats going on (without teachers' personal opinions and beliefs getting in the way). I think its safe to say that most educated people feel VERY strong about politics.
