Yeah, there's a strongly opinionated republican boy in my class, too. He actually got in an argument with my English teacher once about the Great Depression.

Boy: "Capitalism may be what got us into the Great Depression, but it was also what got us out of it."

Teacher: "No, capitalism was what got us into the Depression; massive government intervention and World War Two was what got us out of it."

Stuff like this doesn't usually happen in History class, since our history teacher is also a Republican.
