Do you think children should be encouraged to join political youth camps for a certain party ideology? I think I must have changed my political views at least 4 times since I was 13 years old and can't imagine having a mature grasp of politics and world affairs in my early to mid teenage years. The brain keeps developing well into your mid-twenties, after all.I think it's irresponsible for this reason for adults to be pushing their ideology on people who are not truly developed.
Apparently I keep hearing and reading that these organisations don't indoctrinate these youths, but allow them open debate etc. This seems like a bit of a stretch as I've seen and read about the one-sided activism, I'm sure there aren't very mixed crowds in these camps for proper debate.
