High School Student Not Backing Down
Did anyone read the story about the Democrat student at Highland Park High School who refused to become a Republican, even when his dad threatened not to pay for his college education? According to the story, the HS student could not be bribed to support a party which we all know only cares about a few people and causes and does not support what is good for all Americans. He should definitely be applauded. The story indicated that the student participates in several Democrat groups. With more young people in Texas becoming Democrats, there is definitely hope for the future.

I'm sure he will be able to pay for his own college by applying for scholarships, etc. Maybe if he tells a liberal organization about it, they will hold a fundraiser for him. But still... he did the right thing. The fact that his father is holding out on him and trying to deprive him from higher education over politics is ridiculous, though. The man needs to grow up and learn a little bit about parenting.
On the other hand, it's good to hear because (like you said) a lot of the younger generation are liberal. The younger crowd (16-25) are going to be the future of this country, and it's good that they are open to progressive ideals.
I hadn't heard of it. Sounds interesting. Do you have a link?
It'll be interesting to see ten years from now whether this generation, coming of age in the shadow of the Bush presidency, maintains the Democratic leanings they showed in the 2004 elections.
