10/20/2008: "7th grader called racist for wearing Palin t-shirt"
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.
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."
[ Being Caucasian is racist? So it should be eliminated? Why does advocating the genocide of whites barely raise an eyebrow - even amongst whites? Idiocracy. ]
