Actually I remember talking a lot about Bush/Kerry in 2004 when I was in 4th grade. Bunch of kids wore Bush or Kerry gear to school, we had a whole session where kids were allowed to talk about why they like the candidate they're choosing to support via merchandise (for the kids wearing the shirts/hats/etc).
ALL THAT BEING SAID: Yeah, this does feel like bullshit. Just seems like a way to get other people to comment what their kids think, to get the conversation started.
I remember having a mock election with our class in elementary school. Much like what you’re saying. But… The candidates were George H. W. Bush, Ross Perot, and Bill Clinton.
I remember years ago, my kid got after a after school detention slip for ending some political discussion with a teacher by calling out the teacher as a Democrat.
They never showed up for the detention and nothing happened.
I just remember laughing and saying, well looks like you hit a nerve. And noting how the slip was written - so emotional and silly.

Same. People got into it. We were all probably just aping our parents but it was discussed.
