Do you really think it's appropriate for 5 yr olds to get bent out of shape about politics?
I think they should be delving into a box of crayolas but not worrying about politics.   :-\

Hell has frozen over.... I completely agree with Jag on this....

Its very simple -

Reading
Writing
Math

Everything else should be secondary until those skills are taught properly.

Not me.  I don't have a problem talking to kids about politics.  Nothing wrong with that.

completely agree.
Trying to give the kids a good orientation in politics as well is something they will have good use of.
Try to make them into free thinkers.
To indoctrinate them with certain beliefs isn't what I had in mind though.
Alex P Keaton is the model example - hippie leftist parents, yet allowing him to grow into a neoliberal with Nixon as his hero.

Precisely.  Engaging kids early with intellectual matters helps them become smarter, better informed citizens.

My former wife's family strongly believes in inherited beliefs, something I'm fundamentally opposed to on almost every level.

My goal is to teach my daughter HOW to think, not WHAT to think. 

I was glad that she chose to break with the party line and to cast her ballot for Obama, but I did not criticize her at all for going Yes on 8.  Even though it was a secret ballot, she showed it to me. :)  I was very proud of her for not bending completely to the peer pressure applied by her cousins (and her mother). 

Now I'm going to have to order an Obama poster for her.  ;D
