The Reason is: They are a captive audience in high school.

A vast majority of teachers and administrators are liberal.

Hell, wouldn't put it past them to try and have school busing to the polls on election day after a few weeks of "conditioning" assignments in school to make sure they vote the way their school administration wants them to vote. (Which in most cases won't be Republican) LOL

Who cares what way they're going to vote. Are you implying that adding new voters is only valid if they'll vote Republican? The debate should be centered purely around the question of if they're mature enough to vote. The answer to that question is that they're not. Neither are the vast majority of people under 25.

bad idea. if anything, the voting age should be raised to 21.
