#1 Tell them to be humble, do their homework, be polite to strangers and get jobs.

#2 Dont TELL them a damned thing other than election happen and to congratulate the winner and move on. Besides, "telling the children" is their parent's job.

#3 Jeez, who is this pansy.

On the internet if you say blue buses are nicer than red buses then someone is going to abuse you for it.

Get over it, or get off the internet.

#4 It's the Huggyinton Post. I refer you to what #skidmark said.

#5 As an aside speaking of children. Part of Trump's message while campaigning was "We are going to get rid of Common Core (or maybe it should be called Commie Core)." I was surprised at how people not only knew about Common Core but were resoundingly against it.

#6 A terrified lady of Dayton
Gets letters from Hell, full of hatin'!
Block printed in crayon...
A thread of red rayon...
And every last one is signed, "Satan."

#7 Maybe you should tell the kiddies to get out more, move among more members of the real world communities out there, empathize don't demonize while they're out there. Oh, and check the privilege your mommy installed in you about how superior in thought and deed you are.

#8 Also tell them you don't always get a trophy for just showing up.

#9 How about zipping up with brain washing and teaching them the staff you drones are supposed to teach: how to write in English, sciences, math etc...?

When you decolonise ballet...you end up with this.

#12 Some broad from the Boston Globe wrote something of a similar strain. I sent her an e-mail asking what the phrase 'consent of the governed' meant to her (thanks for the reminder, Procopious 2k!).

I just checked my e-mail, and to no one's surprise, she hasn't responded yet. She won't respond at all, because she'll only believe in 'consent of the governed' when it goes her way.

#13 Pretty much every contest has a winner and a loser. They should understand that by the time they are in school.

We also have a system of government in which the results are not for life, Trump will be out of office in 4 or 8 years so they can chill.

We also have a media that lies through their teeth to promote one party over the other. Perhaps the principle should teach the children about that so they can get some critical thinking started.
