If you were an elementary school principal, which types of activities would you ban if you were interested in producing future political know-nothings?

Answer:

An ideal response will:
1. Define political what political scientists mean by know-nothings.
2. Discuss reasons that people become political know-nothings, including the role of agents of political socialization (especially schools as agents).
3. Provide one or more examples of school activities that should be banned to socialize students into political know-nothings.
