No one can have opinions anymore… if you don’t support Barack Obama you are racist.
She’s only 12 years old but Ashleigh Jones is feeling the heat of this election year.
That’s because the seventh grader at New Smyrna Beach Middle School was called a racist by classmates for wearing a pro-Sarah Palin t-shirt.
Jones is volunteering at the Republican Headquarters in New Smyrna Beach. The Palin t-shirt was a gift from her fellow volunteers.
But when she wore it to school she learned just how tough politics can be.
“Some of the students were calling me racist because I was Caucasian,” she said. “I wanted the Caucasian man to win. And I told them that’s not true. It’s my freedom of speech, it’s my opinion.”
Jones’ parents say they aren’t mad at the school they just want everyone including their daughter to voice their opinion constructively.
I wonder where the kids got the idea that you were racist if you supported McCain instead of Obama? Maybe it was Representative Murtha, or Barney Frank, the AP, the New York Times, Jack Cafferty, the Governor of Kansas, or Joe Biden? Maybe it was Barack Obama himself?
Funny, its only the Democrats reminding you of Barack Obama’s race, and trying to scare everyone into supporting him… even seventh graders. Sad.
