That's kind of fucked up, asking kids to tell their political allegiance... In debates we were assigned an opinion and had to defend it no matter what our personal opinion was to make us understand how to build arguments...
I agree.
I get that Lemmy is super liberal, but this kind of mentality is toxic. It results in a generation that is unwilling to question their beliefs, leans into mob mentality, and doesn't see the need to understand and articulate political beliefs you support.
