It wouldn’t surprise me at all

If you look at how Democrats think, act, and parent, one can only fully expect their voters to place a 13 year old child in the governor’s office. The only question is whether their will be enough conservative and independent voters to prevent it.

Let me get this straight P@triot before I lose track

A teenager is old enough to run for public office, and to
get an abortion or sex change without parental approval,
but can't drink, buy cigarettes, consent to sex,
drive or own a gun, and can't decide on reparative therapy or not
because that would be abuse. But sex change surgery
and abortion are okay for minors, right?

No wonder kids are confused these days.
These rules hardly make sense to me either!

BTW P@triot
I have nothing against students willing to get involved in civics and govt,
and actually encourage more people to do so.

There are programs like Teen Court and peer mediation that teach
important skills to students in a structured, mentored environment.
The programs have found that Teens can be harsher on their peers
than adult who understand learning and development while teens
still react emotionally and respond to peer pressure. So this takes careful mentoring.

I believe the key to localized representation is to use
the schools to where teachers, students and parents
can work out conflicts over policies together and reach agreements.
Either a consensus on policy or agree to separate jursidiction,
and even set up separate funding and schools if needed, if
people cannot resolve their different beliefs.

If we don't learn, teach and offer conflict resolution assistance,
including managing diversity from cultural to political beliefs, we
will continue to waste tax money and resources fighting instead of solving
problems in a cost effective manner that focuses on sustainable
law enforcement health and safety by prevention through education.

We should have systems set up through schools to teach students
and their parents democratic process, police and legal procedures
and costs of infractions, and civic responsibility including how much
crime and corruption costs taxpayers and property owners and businesses.
That way people can make an informed choice whether to support or
deter crime and save more tax resources to pay for health care,
community services and education with the billions currently wasted
on prisons and mental health systems that don't work. Why not
start sooner by setting up training within schools so kids and parents
can learn the laws, the process of govt, and the costs to taxpayers?

Republicans don't really set the bar all that high.

Republicans Are Becoming Less Educated​

The way I look at it, they have already been putting 13 year olds in office for years--- --- --- mentally. Only thing new for the Democrats now is that this one will have the BODY of a 13 year old as well.

He's only 13. You think he would be safe around all those republican pedophiles?
