I fail to see the relevance of Sac's post. How many HSers do you think pay attention to politics? Not enough to make any difference whatsoever. Rather, form their opinions on what they are exposed to on a daily basis. What are they exposed to on a daily basis? That is the question that needs to be answered. I don't think I know.

When I was in HS during the Reagan years, I was completely uninterested in politics until I went to a reelection rally in Sacramento in 1984 for Reagan. I did not have friends who really knew anything or ware concerned about political happenings. Perhaps I am the exception.

So....what are HSers exposed to daily? School. MTV and the like. Video games. The mall. Sports or band practice. You think they're watching CNN or the Fox news channel? The cause is not information on current political happenings. It is a lack of historical knowledge.
