Politics is much like religion in that depending on how the adults in a household feel about the subject depends on how, or if it's taught. Although our Rights aren't political per se, they always follow that road. 

You can have kids being taught the right thing in school but if the parents are against it you better believe they'll make sure their kid(s) know the "right" way of thinking is their way (the parents way).

We were not a political family. I know my parents voted but politics was just not talked about and I was never told what party to vote for or support. What I learned in school was what I knew to be true and it was never argued against. I knew kids growing up whose homes were the complete opposite. Their families lived and breathed all things political. I never understood it.
