A serious concern for me is also exposing younger people to the pressure of targeted political advertising, and the social pressures associated with politics. Do we allow political campaigning or political activism in schools? How do we define, manage or prevent it? I don't see how it would be possible to do this without politicizing schools even if it occurs covertly. I'm all for introducing young people to political discourse and political ideas, but making young people under 18 targets for political campaigning or political activists within their cohort is an awful idea.
