Good for your son for not smarting off. I am sure he was tempted! I also have a 12 year old conservative son. He’s in a small Lutheran school, so he hasn’t run across an rampant Obama supporter for a teacher yet. I hope in the future when he goes to a different school he can handle an incident like this with as much class as your son.
I don't know what on earth my 10 yr old home schooled daughter would say to a question like that. I am sure she wouldn't be rude but she has plenty of thoughts on 0 & none of them very nice. Maybe I will ask her that first thing tomorrow. I have the feeling she will say but Mommy that man isn't allowed in our house is he?
