Love it right? Yes, I know this isn’t the first time something like this has happened. Some people say that the kid was just repeating what his mother told him to say. But what I love about this video and why parents and youth like this are #winning, is because that is exactly what your parents should do. Talk to their kids about social issues and teach them how to be proactive about the things they want to see changed.

When I got to college it was really baffling to see how many people have never been exposed to or never discussed with their families, the social issues that surround them. I also can’t count how many people I know who have not been exposed to these issues until college, and now are strong advocates for a cause.

Its amazing what youth can get inspired to do when given the knowledge to make informed decisions.

***Update*** Bachmann has since ended her campaign.
