Fox Kids Discuss The Election
Reported by Deborah - November 3, 2004 -
This morning the 9 year old boys in my class were discussing the election. Normally, I discourage political discussions because during this campaign, the conversation usually ends in a fight. However, today I let them speak freely and this is what I heard. 11/3/04
Boy 1: "Bush won because Kerry is a traitor. He spied for the enemy in an old war. Really, my Father told me. Kerry was going to pass a law making boys marry boys."
Boy 2 : "That's a lie! Kerry is a war hero with medals."
Boy 3: "No way! He had long hair and became a hippy and could never be a hero. He's French too. I swear."
I quickly intervened and asked where they had gotten the information.
Boy 1 " It's true. It's from Fox News. My Father told us."
I explained to the class that being French was not a negative trait but merely a nationality.
Boy3: " It is bad. France is our enemy. They hate us."
Boy1:" Yeah, we hate France back. Fox rules, man."
Boy1 and Boy 2 high five in agreement.
Fox spreading good conservative values to our kids.
