I had to instruct my 7 year old that if anyone in public happened to ask him who his parents voted for, to say “I don’t know”.
There was a fight here at a local high school over a student who was walking around the lunch room carrying an Obama sign. Another child grabbed the sign and spit on it. Alledgely a riot broke out.
I don’t have a link to this or anything. My best friends husband is a police officer here and that’s how I heard about it. If I see anything on the actual news station, I will link to it then.
Still, I don’t want to be in public with my two small children and have someone hostile try to start something. I am a small white woman and don’t have a carry permit. I do plan on fixing the last problem soon though.
In 2004, there were kids (after the election) who were beat up when they told bullies that their parents had voted for Bush.
There were also Craigslist requests for Bush voters to fight.
There was also a bed and breakfast that would refuse any guests with Bush stickers on their cars.
