Some kids would be like "well they both were president for 2 terms!" and would take entirely the wrong lesson.

There are comments on this post saying exactly that. “They both became president, so what’s the point?”

Like there isn’t an in and easily understood difference between the two.

You and I see it, but trying to teach kids lessons usually has them being willfully obstinant.

Yeah I’m in a convo with guy now saying it makes no difference because they both became president.

I’m trying to tell him that good people think speaking with intelligence is a virtue all on its own, regardless of who became president.

I’m not sure he gets that.
