RE: Politics aren't just for grownups anymore. Meet Ilan Cohen the Jewish teenager that's running for governor of Kansas

I think it is great for young minds to start learning and discussing about real life subjects, "adult" subjects.

But, there is one aspect of this I don't like.

As we can see time and time again in America's campuses, the amount of young people who are ignorant about ideologies and history, is considerably big. That's why ideologies like socialism and communism are common between young people. I remember reading a study that showed how the support for socialism decreased as people got older.

So, young people getting involved is good, but naive people getting involved might end up costing some painful mistakes.
