VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. -- 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 (Video: MyFoxOrlando) for wearing a T-shirt in support of VP candidate Sarah Palin, Orlando FOX affiliate WOFL reported.
Jones is volunteering at the Republican Headquarters in New Smyrna Beach. The Palin t-shirt was a gift from her fellow volunteers.
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."
Jones' parents said they're not mad at the school; they just want everyone -- including their daughter -- to voice their opinions constructively, WOFL reported.

It’s time for kiddie sensitivity training classes to begin. /sarc
“intelligent liberals”
Is there such a thing?
“Who are these Obama mania kids thinking they are influencing? Other seventh graders.”
Yeah for when ACORN registers them to vote.
That is a true point. It would be funny if we didn’t know how true your statement is.
I’m pretty sure those rules apply to adults, as well.
As I had stated before in another thread, every state should throw out the applications generated by third parties and especially those turned in by ACORN.
A glimpse of the future.
She should have flung it back at them and called them sexists. LOL
It's just that it doesn't come naturally to our side to stoop that low.
Sorry, there is absolutely nothing intelligent about anyone that supports Obama. They are all utter morons.
Ah yes, the Young Octoberists for obama.
...intelligent liberals are acting ...
WHERE? WHEN?
My 8 year old (white) daughter came home from school yesterday and a little black girl asked her about the election and she told her my Dad is voting for McCain and she asked my daughter if I was a racist.
I told her the next time she sees her of this comes up again to explain I don’t vote for socialists.
She knows a new vocabulary word...several actually...
socialism
race baiting
and after this sinks in we’ll move on to:
projection
liberalism (is a profound mental disorder)
A very perceptive observation.
Here are some more thoughts about that, from a controverial author and source:

All she has to do is answer back, “What? You hate Palin because she is white? You’re a racist!”
“He’s also a racist because he doesn’t like rap music.”
RAP: Retarded African Poetry.
I make a distinction between intelligence and wisdom. I work in a physics department where I am surrounded almost exclusively by people I know are extremely intelligent and excel in their fields of study - but that doesn’t stop them from posting the most ridiculous diaries from the Daily Kos on their doors.
A guy in my platoon had this to say about rap:
“Yo I’m a homie G,
Yo I’m a homie G,
I listen to the crap
That they call rap!”
“Take an adult (voting age) to the polls on Election Day and encourage them to vote for you, by voting for Senator Obama.”
Good Lord! That site reads like a PETA-style primer for kids! Eeeeeeeek!
“If your Daddy votes for McCain/Palin he’s a fluffy bunny murdering meat-eater!”
