minus-squareLumelore (She/her)@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·2 months agoI went to a rural highschool and in 2016 Shrek won our mock election. I don’t remember who got second or third though.
minus-squarefemtech@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up9·2 months agoHow big is the highschool? I know my old one would be Republican as I was a paria for saying we shouldn’t ban burning the American flag in protest.
minus-squarekirkoman@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up9·2 months agoAbout 650 students. The school covers a good range of rural- to mid-density areas, maybe a little heavier on the rural side.
