Should 11-year-olds not attend political rallies? I’ve got 4 kids, and I wouldn’t hesitate to bring at least our 11-year-old to a political rally.

On a s hoop night?

And generally speaking, no, I do not think children should be at political rallies.

Personally, I've tried to keep WBill Jr. *away* from politics - even away from pols that I might happen to support. That's not easy, sometimes. We had a member of our church run for an office, and come looking for "help" (stuffing envelopes, licking stamps, delivering signs, 5 million other things that go into a campaign). I said "No" as far as my kids were concerned - even though I personally liked her, voted for her, thought that she was honest and would do (actually, did) a good job.

IMO, kids should be kids and not political props. They've got the rest of their lives to deal with adult nonsense like politics. No need to roll them around in the slime at an early age.

YMMV. That's just my opinion.
