My college-age kid tells me all her associates are voting Obama. I’m praying that none of them actually registered - or that they don’t get out of bed that day.
Tell her it is okay for a brown person to be president, as long as it is Alan Keyes, Clarence Thomas or Bobby Jindal.
Even Colin Powell (with all his faults) looks good nowadays.
if it is so OK for a ‘brown’ person to be pre4sident, why isn’t Alan Keyes in the white house right now.
this ain’t about skin color - that’s what they call a pretext.
Or you could tell her that McCain needs to be elected to show that it’s OK for a woman to be in the White House...
So, on Thursday of last week there were children passing poster's out that said “tell your mama to vote for Obama” Some of the kids were wearing these posters taped to their shirts. The agitated my son in his science class. He was very vocal in his dislike for these signs and of course because he reacted the kids tormented him even more.
On Friday morning I called the school district to find out what the policy on political signs was. The district says no political signs are allowed. The district then wanted to know where I saw these signs. I wasn't about to tell them, I wanted to talk to the principal of the school first.
I finally talked to the principal and she said she did see the poster's being handed out and that she stopped that. I told her about what happened in the science class and she hadn't heard about that. I said why would the teacher tell you about it? I'm sure he wanted to keep it quiet. She said that political themed t-shirts were ok. I'll be calling the district on Monday to find out the policy on posters taped to t-shirts.
