Gamemaster VOTES for Obama!

So my oldest son, gamemaster goes to the local elementary school and they voted for the mock 08 election. Well, I asked gamemaster who he voted for and why. He told me that he voted for Barack Obama and he chose him because he was a great speaker and he thinks he is cool. Now, granted this is not the reason we chose the best president elect but, he is 8 so there you go. So what was the ICING on the cake.... a child in gamemasters class said to him, "Obama is evil.... he will not win - that's never happen before!"

Now, regardless of what the child said it was where he heard this type of statement. HIS PARENTS! Now, we all have our views but we need to make sure that we are aware that are kids are listening when we speak. That was a ignorant remark regardless of who you want to win or who you think will do best. That mom or dad should be ashamed of themselves. Opposing there own opinions on there child.

It is said to say when you move to a city with the best schools in the area you are forced to deal with things that should be past. You get looked at crazy, your child is one of few africian americans in his class and all for the expense of a decent education for you child. What is a parent to do?
