giving all participants a trophy. Do? you believe that more liberals or conservatives support that idea? Or do you believe that there is no correlation between political beliefs and such practices?

For the record, I think that only the winning team (or person, depending on the sport) should get a trophy. The problem with our society is that everyone these days is raised to believe that they will always win. Sorry.
We should be teaching kids that it's ok to fail, but it is NOT ok to quit trying.
 
Only overly protective parents could come up with that idea. "O it's ok that you suck son you got a trophy."

I play lacrosse and we never get trophies or medals for anything worse than 3rd place.
 
I think this comes from liberals. I believe there should be a winner and a loser. Competition and team work are good things to teach. Just because little Billy was on the losing team and didn't get a trophy, his teams parents should be out working harder with their kids so they do better next time. You can not always win!
 
I think giving everyone a trophy even if they didn't win totally misses the point of trophies in the first place.

I think it makes kids think they are going to get a prize every time in life, even if they do a mediocre ob.

I don't really think this is a party defining issue.
 
Oh, that is a liberal idea for sure. I think it is ridiculous.

Look up John Rosemond. Oh, it is a liberal idea alright.
