resources for youth and civic engagement

[Mary Lou Boughton]

I agree, it's important in working with youth to let them learn for 
themselves!  I think it's up to us to use websites that encourage voting, 
whether they are biased toward one party/cause or not, as a basis for 
conversation.  Encourage them to find the bias, and to  find out what the 
other side thinks! 

It's up to us to model objectivity, not censor tools.  From time to time 
the kids in my program ask what my opinion is on a topic - that tells me 
I'm doing my job well!
