The 20-odd people chanting Honk if you want justice, on a New Bedford, Massachusetts sidewalk Dec. 12 got a lot of attention. They were second graders, rallying against police for the shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. While the rest of their class enjoyed 11:30 recess that morning, these 7 and 8-year-old protesters stood by the side of the road in front of the Alma Del Mar Charter School holding signs including one that read, Please dont shoot me, Ferguson....

We discourage our teachers from sharing their own political and religious views with their scholars, Gardner added. [But] we certainly want our scholars to engage in activities that help them to understand what it means to be citizens and what it means to be a democracy. - Will Gardner (School Executive Director)
Oh really? What if those same students wanted to protest in favor of the police? And in favor of the Grand Jury? I wonder if this guy is related to Kevin Jennings?!?

I don’t know if they’re too young, but I do know they’re being brainwashed.

Teaching them to hate while they’re young just like the muslims do.

I know this took place in the liberal paradise of Massachusetts but I would think at least some of the parents of these kids would be livid about this. Those teachers should be fired.

It’s MA. The parents are morons too. Or they would not be in that state.

Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.

What if the kids were protesting Michele’s lunch program? Would that be ok? It would certainly be more appropriate.

Clearly this is indoctrination. Kids this young don’t have a clue about world events unless an adult tells them.
The teacher behind this needs to be fired.

I don’t think anyone should protest it. But this is an issue for their parents to decide. If they want to raise their kids to have the typical race chip on their shoulders then it is still somewhat of a free country. Go for it and reap what you sow.

They should have signs saying “Honk if you think people should obey the law!”
