Politics and the 8th grade Social Studies class

My daughter came home yesterday with a very interesting story from her Social Studies class.
The teacher took them all to the school library and had them go to the Political Philosophy Quiz web site http://www.politicalquiz.net/

All the class took the quiz and had as asked. She reported that most of the class aligned with Hillary Clinton following the quiz. Her results aligned with John Edwards, I don't know where she got those ideals. We discuss politics some, she asks lots of questions.
She said she kept repeating through the quiz, "I hope I am not a Republican."

One student who didn't really want to take the quiz answered Don't Care for all the questions and his results aligned him with Mitt Romney. :rofl:

Here is the link the quiz if you want to have a little fun with it yourself: http://www.politicalquiz.net/

Mitt must not care, and that's about right!

Dennis is usually my top in these things, and they put him behind Obama, Gravel, Dodd & Edwards this time.

I am not as peaceable as I thought I was.

Conservative/Progressive Score 12 - Ultra-Progressive
Capitalist Purist/Social Capitalist Score 12 - Socialist
Libertarian/Authoritarian Score 2 - Libertarian
Pacifist/Militarist Score 1 - Pacifist
You are a Hardcore Democrat

Dennis Kucinich - 90% (no surprise there)
Mike Gravel - 90% (?!)

because it didn't address a policy of intervening in genocides, even if they're not a direct threat to the U.S.

You're right...just not enough info for a yes or no answer.

It's just like the Sorting Hat: If you keep repeating
"Not Slytherin"/"I hope I'm not a Republican!", you
won't turn out to be a Slytherin/Republican.

Those guys actively *EMBRACE* the dark side.

That was neat.

It says I align most with Obama. He is still my 3rd choice though.

Mine was Obama as well but I will continue to support Edwards until there is good reason to change.

first choice on dem side obama right behind edwards and hillary the last choice of all..... odd results.

My candidate seems to be John Edwards (and quite strongly, too).

Things that make one go "hmmm.....

She reads all the time and the longest it took her to read any Harry Potter book was 2 days.

10 - Progressive
12 - Socialist
2 - Libertarian
2 - Pacifist

88% Obama, 83% Kucinich.

Hillary Clinton is wayyyy down at #8, even behind Biden, Dodd and Richardson.
