A brand new survey has revealed that boys in high school are becoming more and more conservative, which is a good thing, because this likely means they are embracing traditional values and true masculinity, things that will equip them to be leaders in the future. Heck, maybe they will be the generation that helps course correct the culture of our great nation. Unfortunately, the same survey found that high school aged girls are moving more to the left, which is going to make the work for the boys that much more difficult.
According to a report from the Daily Wire, “Annual polling over the past three years conducted by Monitoring the Future and the University of Michigan showed that more 12th-grade boys are identifying as conservative than liberal, while 12th-grade girls’ liberal political affiliation continues to rise, The Hill reported. The most recent survey showed that 23% of 12th-grade boys identified as conservative, while only 13% of senior boys considered themselves liberal. Around 30% of senior girls in high school identified as liberals in 2021 and 2022, up from 25% in 2020, according to Monitoring the Future.”
Thomas Kersting, a psychotherapist, recently sat down for an interview on “Fox & Friends,” where he stated that he’s not at all surprised by the findings of the study.
“You look at … all the messaging in society and it’s sort of like everything is about advancing within minorities … and young men, young boys sort of being left out; they’re sort of being left behind,” Kersting stated during the segment. “And then you have politicians out there saying things like the number one problem in America is white men and things of that nature, but I think 12th-grade boys are kind of seeing through this.”
“We’re creating this idea that if you’re a male, then there’s something wrong with that and that you’re bad,” he continued.
According to the data from Monitoring the Future, back in the 1970s, liberal boys in high school vastly outnumbered conservatives, especially during the presidency of Jimmy Carter, and also, for a brief stint in the late 2000s, while Barack Obama was in the Oval Office. Since 2016, the year former President Donald Trump was first elected, the trend for males in this age group have trended toward the political right by a substantial number.
Girls are another story. Over the course of the last 10 years, they have moved more and more toward the political left, a trend that was revealed by recent polls conducted by Gallup. What is making so many young women head toward the Democratic Party? It seems to have a lot to do with the commitment made by progressives to ensure women have access to abortions in the wake of the reversal of Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court last year.
Yes, that’s right. More and more young ladies in high school want to be able to recklessly have sex and deal with none of the consequences, therefore, they are trending left. This is both sickening, disheartening, and tragic all at the same time. It’s the result of years of feminist indoctrination in public school, pop culture, and by other women in their lives.
“As boys in high school shift to the Right, fewer young men are graduating from America’s universities, which many conservatives believe have become beacons of leftist ideology. In the 2018-2019 academic year, just 74 men received a bachelor’s degree for every 100 women who completed their program. As of 2023, 64% of women at public universities were graduating compared to 58% of men. In overall enrollment, women are outnumbering men by almost 60% to 40%, according to the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center,” the report said.
Another interesting find from the survey is that while many boys move right and girls move left, the vast majority of high school students don’t consider themselves to be either one. Over 40 percent of those who responded to the survey replied they are “none of the above” or “I don’t know.”
