Yeah, I get that schools/youth tend to skew more liberal, but everyone?! Out of that entire class, not one single kid except for Shooter McSnowflake on the red side? Seems hinky. Hell, even if the district went 65/35 liberal instead of conservative, I'd still expect at least a smattering of neocon kids, Bible thumpers, rednecks, whatever... Gotta be a handful of them, even if it's a small handful. Is the classmate misremembering? Intentional exaggeration? Just seems like this is trying too hard to push an angle, IMO. I'm just not sure what that angle actually is.

Or that's just what happened. The same thing happened in my school when we did something similar, and I grew up in a solid red sundown town.

from my experience that would be the case but likely its going to depend on the size of the school. when i was in my small grade school I had no one to hang with but the high school was much larger and I had a small nerd crowd of friends.
