 In this article I am getting that many political leaders are trying to change schools into teaching the kids how to better the country in the future without teaching them about the issues in the world outside of school. Many in society feel that the schools should open the classrooms to only specific issues that the world is facing. Many believe that the children are too young or innocent to be exposed to specific issues and not others even though the children are already being exposed to these issues. They feel that the children will nit understand these issues or they don't want the children to understand. In reality, many children are already being exposed to these issues and will continue being exposed to them due to where the live or due to their families. Many political leaders don't understand that these children are already living in and are experiencing these issues that they are hiding them from. I feel that these children should be exposed to these issues reasonably. We should not just dump these issues onto them and bombard them or just completely avoid the issues in total. We should expose everyone to these issues in a way where they feel comfortable and where their opinions are being understood and listened to. So many children are being exposed to different issues at an early time in their lives and they don't have a safe and comfortable space to express their feelings about what they are going through, but they don't. The school system is pushing the children away from these issues.
