The most recent survey showed that 23% of 12th-grade boys identified as conservative, while only 13% of senior boys considered themselves liberal. Around 30% of senior girls in\u200d high school identified\u2064 as liberals in 2021 and 2022, up from 25%\u200b in 2020, according to Monitoring the Future. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Psychotherapist Thomas Kersting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/video\/6332233249112\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told<\/a> \u201cFox and Friends\u201d that he\u2019s not surprised by the study\u2019s findings. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cYou look at \u2026 all the messaging in society and it\u2019s sort of like everything is about\u2064 advancing within minorities \u2026 and young men, young boys sort of being left\u2063 out; they\u2019re\u200d sort of being left behind,\u201d Kersting \u200bsaid. \u2062\u201cAnd then \u200dyou have politicians out there\u2063 saying things like the number one \u2064problem in\u200c America is white men and things of that nature, but I think 12th-grade boys are kind\u200b of seeing through this.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe\u2019re creating this idea that if you\u2019re a male, then there\u2019s something wrong with that and that you\u2019re bad,\u201d he added. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to Monitoring \u200dthe Future, liberal high school boys outnumbered conservatives in the late 1970s, \u200dduring the Jimmy Carter presidency, and for a brief \u2063time in the late 2000s, while President Barack Obama was in\u2063 the White\u2064 House.
