I didn't pay attention to politics a whole lot in 8th grade but if grade school teachers are anything like college professors then the student was probably encouraged to do this.

I got a whole month off school during 8th grade to join a political campaign...
Unfortunately it was for Preston Manning.:Q

"Saroufim said he had not received any complaints and could not see how the painting could cause offense."

Obviously not a Republican.

The country has been in the grips of the Republican disease since Carter and is now begun the process of healing. A lot of germs are going to die in the process and some of them are very sensitive. All that repressed hate that they feel they can't help but see is some cleaver 8 year old artist. The boil has been lanced and the puss is squirting all over the place.

This is closer to a political cartoon predicting the death of the campaign. It is an 8th grader so you have to allow some slack.

This is no where near the threats spewed by adults at McCain rallys

Anti-intellectualism... original. Those "brainwashing" college professors have contributed more to science and humanity than most could ever hope to achieve.

Would a kid singing "Palin got run over by a reindeer" be some sort of human rights violation as well? Given the theme of the painting this is a non-issue and it's shameful anyone is trying to make it into one.

I think I may have found the 8th grader.....

Lol, Dana.

Ocguy is a girl? :shocked:

This explains a lot.

A very angry one at that. Although that might explain why she won't let me buy her a drink so she can tell me these things that she says on the internet in person.

You have no idea.

Seriously though and I mean this with all civility which is tough to convey on the intertubes but I genuinely WOULD like to discuss some of this stuff in person.

I was only joking around, Oc, but I really have never heard of or met a guy named Dana.

Maybe it's like naming your boy Sue, if it doesn't kill him it will make him tougher.
