Should parents teach their kids to have the same politics as the parents?
I would do it in RARE instances, but overall, I think it's a bad idea.
Would you encourage them to be on a particular side of a particular issue? For example, would you teach them to oppose capital punishment, or anything like that? How many issues would you be willing to do that with?I think parents should teach their kids morality and principles and encourage them to stand up for them, but not blind allegiance to a particular partisan group.

Just because a parent teaches their child to have the same politics doesn't mean their child actually will.

Depends on one's perspective I suppose. I can teach my kid's that valuing life is important. If they ask what I think about something, I tell them. To some that is indoctrination because "Of course they will believe what you believe no matter how you phrase it", but to me it is not the same thing as teaching them that my opinion is the only correct one.
I agree but that isn't the question. This is about teaching kids what their politics should be.Depends on one's perspective I suppose. I can teach my kid's that valuing life is important.

My parents almost never talked about politics in front of us kids and I do the same thing with my daughter.I pretty much will regardless of intent or degree of exposure to politics anyhow. They live with you, and they will pick up your politics at least to some extent.
Parents should teach their kids solid family values. If they do it right, they won't have to worry about their kid drifting to the Left.Should parents teach their kids to have the same politics as the parents?

Ha!Parents should teach their kids solid family values. If they do it right, they won't have to worry about their kid drifting to the Left.
You don't know how to define it already?Ha!
Then "family values" needs to be defined...in detail.
Never be a liberal......Neither a liberal nor conservative be...........
