Satire

Politics are super important in American society. For adults, that is. Adults run for office, adults vote, and adults have the best opinions. It's only natural for adults to be the only ones involved in political issues that affect the entire country. If you're under the age of 18, there's no need for you to have any knowledge about politics. Why would you want to? There are plenty of other, more important things to worry about. Young people need to focus more on their high school relationships and perfecting their social media skills. For a young person to have an opinion on, say, the presidential election is absurd. They can't vote for the leader of the country in which they live, so why care? We need to leave the important decisions and opinions to the more mature citizens who can represent the entire population. With the rapidly advancing technology, we should be able to block minors from learning about anything that has to do with politics. I propose that a microchip should be implanted into the brains of children at birth that will filter out any political ideas and information that they are exposed to until they turn 18. Since this will be developed by adults, it will be the right decision for America.
