High school boys are trending conservative
Article here. So-called "liberal" ideology is a bed-fellow of 4th-wave feminism which despises males and maleness. Why should it be any surprise that boys and young men instead embrace the opposite of so-called liberalism (which is as classically "liberal" as is fascism, IMO). Excerpt:
'A popular narrative suggests young people are liberal and getting more liberal. Thus, social media buzzed when a chart surfaced in spring that seemed to suggest 12th-grade boys had become overwhelmingly conservative.
As with many Reddit posts and viral tweets, the truth was more complicated. But the numbers do say this: Twelfth-grade boys are nearly twice as likely to identify as conservative versus liberal, according to a respected federal survey of American youth.
In annual surveys over the last three years, roughly one-quarter of high school seniors self-identified as conservative or “very conservative” on the Monitoring the Future survey, a scholarly endeavor that dates to the 1970s. Only 13 percent of boys identified as liberal or very liberal in those years.'
