Opinion: A grade-school lesson on elections quickly became a referendum on deep issues about fairness in America. Maybe adults shouldn’t be so delicate about what kids get to talk about.
. In my day job, I’m an election law professor, but for an hour last year I was an elementary school teacher. That seemed much harder.
Normally, I teach these topics to law students, who can engage with the material in a sophisticated way. I was worried the students in my daughter’s class either would be completely bored or would stump me with off-the-wall questions. Sure, they were also interested in when recess began, but once I encouraged them to offer their own ideas about electoral fairness, the conversation took off.
The conversation moved to why certain rules might be better or worse. Amazingly, I realized, the students had a very noticeable, intuitive understanding of what an academic might call structural inequality.basic unfairness
