Political Cartoon 5


Today our teenage society is giving in to peer pressure with drinking, smoking, doing drugs, and even having sex, much more than it used to be. Having Palin run as vice president and speaking about taking sex education and any thing to do with sexual content out of schools, yet her daughter is pregnant and still in school. This cartoon shows Palin giving a speech about her support towards having no sex education, and no availability to condoms, in the schools, she also is telling her audience that abstinence is the only way to go. I agree with what Palin is trying to say, but her actions so far, dealing with her daughter, go against every thing that she has been saying so far. The other point in the cartoon is that Palins pregnant, teenage, daughter is standing behind her stating that she is strictly a private matter. Palin’s daughter is implying, that despite her mothers campaign, she did get herself pregnant, but it’s a secret matter of only her and her families. Although Palin has been in the political view for a little while now, and states that she believes in abstinence, her daughter went against what her mom says she believes in and gets pregnant. So soon we might have a vice president that is so worried about stopping sexual content in schools, yet has a pregnant, teenage daughter, why would we pick a vice president that would be expected to help control our country when she can’t even control her own daughter. So willing to stop our teenage society from corrupting themselves Palin is willing to help stop that from happening, but she should start with her daughter first.
