In these difficult times, to call them in some way, the streets are covered with manifestations of one kind or another in what some call the exercise of rights and others, disturbing others. I am not going to go into that now because we have a topic for discussion and it goes on for long.
A state of tension like the current one, in which it is enough to stumble upon someone so that he becomes very fat, presents a perfect breeding ground to make everything stand out and so that whatever the measure taken or the claiming action appears some detractor. All very healthy, democratically speaking. One of the latter objects of analysis by the social microscope is the politicization of minors. And personally that I think it is something that should be discussed, in a sensible way and without going into those political subterfuges that we want to denounce.
Children, the most valuable object of a society
Until two days ago, now I am not so clear, the children were our most precious social value and the majority of countries that have experienced considerable growth had applied social policies aimed at the smallest, that is, directed towards the future and that had a demonstrable weight in the progress of the country.
It is not the same that a law modifies the Status Quo of adults that this norm does with children, politicians know it well and until now they were getting rid of being cutbacks.
The picture with the baby on duty
There is no single political "headliner" that does not He has photographed himself with a baby in his arms. Why? Because we know that a baby does not feel safe with anyone and that is why having a happy baby in his arms seems to imbue a wearer with a kind of trust halo. The baby does not cry, then we can trust, our subconscious tells us. That is why the perfect photo is sought, even with a child of one of the party members.
The visit to the schools
Another election classic It consists of filling the school district with politicians. Probably most of those children will not see so much political together "caring" for them in their lives, but for now there are. Of course, always to the little ones, that nobody wants to encounter uncomfortable questions asked by some cheeky young man with Spiderman shirt.
The first rows full of children in political rallies
I guess it will be so they can see our beloved leaders better, right? In the next elections, look at the different meetings of any kind and play to find the similarities. I will not be surprised that they look like the same children with different shirts.
Manifestations
It seems that the drop that filled the glass in this of children and politics is the presence of minors in demonstrations and those who have shouted in the sky are precisely responsible for the previous examples. It seems that it is very good that I take my children to an event as extremely entertaining as a rally, or that he leaves his face next to the politician on duty, but take it away from demonstrations because as if not, there not, that is very bad , that is ... what do they call it? Handling. And I will not be the one who denies that the image of children has been deliberately used in demonstrations. In fact, depending on the type, or rather of the manifestation ideology Children seem to be a more suitable complement.
And now I think. I think that one of the best examples that a father can give a child is to see how his father fights for the future of his offspring and, according to our social system, one of those instruments is manifestations. I am sure that going to a demonstration is nothing fun for such a young mind and that soon after arriving you will be wanting to leave, that a 3 year old is not the same as a 12 year old preteen and that as it begins to be the General tone in this country in the development of a demonstration it is best to have a fast escape route.
But, What am I teaching him if all I show him is to obey blindly? That everything they do to us is fine?What future do I want for them?
I don't think I'm a better father than anyone, I just try to teach them to defend themselves tomorrow.
Yes, the politicization of minors It is on the agenda for some and for others and it is up to us to teach them to walk where they choose and not where others send them. Teach them to be happy.
