Commentary - Bush's Children?
(06/24/04 4:00am)
Because the November elections are really beginning to become a major issue in Americans' minds, I decided to do some field work on the upcoming election. I have always wondered if the cliché regarding the fact that one can learn a surprising amount from children held true for something like politics. I decided to test that theory this summer, mostly because I am currently co-directing a "nature" camp for middle school children, so I really couldn't ignore that opportunity. I figured that I would ask the children for whom, if they were of age, they would vote. Because the elections are just around the corner, I reasoned that the kids would have to have had at least some political exposure, if not from their parents, then from the media.
