Kid Politics

I love how some conservatives claim that Obama has some kind of brain washing agenda to warp the minds of our youth. This American Life takes a tour of the Regan library and watches elementary kids attempt to reenact the invasion of Grenada. The kids are rewarded for choosing the path Regan took, and not rewarded for choosing otherwise. Who is warping our youth here? I mean, I think this scenario reenacting is a really interesting idea, but putting the kids into these situations and pretending them that they are making the decisions, then psychologically smacking them when they don't follow what actually happened is total BS and just teaches the kids to be sheep and be afraid of making their own decisions.
