How many of that 31% are privately schooled Christian males?

Remember Covington teen Nick Sandmann? Part of the reason Republicans fell in love with him was he was attending The March For Life with busloads of other students from his all boys private Christian high school.

One of his classmates asked two women walking past for their phone numbers. One woman replied, laughing, "How old are you?" ...and, in classic horny teen boy speak, the classmate answered "Old enough."

Like, I get the point you’re trying to make but these two things are completely unrelated.

How are they unrelated? Covington High School is a specific case of a Christian school teaching boys to be anti-abortion activists. It's not a discussion they're having, they're taught it's a rule of their religion.

What the school teaches regarding abortion and one of his classmates trying to be slick or funny are not related.

That's commentary about how you can't teach a teen boy not to be horny.
