I agree with you 100%. That was my first thought when I saw the segment on Fox last evening. Parents using their children to promote their views is disgusting.

Stop hiding behind the kid. Let her get an education. The parents should be ashamed. It's beyond the pale.

Yep. Parents need to let their kids be kids. Besides political posturing the parents today expect their kids to excell in at least 15 after school activities, win the school science fair and volunteer to at minimum 5 charities.

What happened to the days of sitting in the back yard looking up at the clouds, working on your hot rod Camaro, riding your horse and playing frisbee with the dog?

Did it occur to anyone here that this “child” might actually have an opinion of her own? I certainly have been politically aware since about the sixth grade, so it isn’t outside the realm of possibility that this kid actually wore this shirt of her own volition. Sometimes I really think I’m on a liberal board here...you people should be outraged that there is a double standard being applied here. If schools aren’t the place for honest discussions about life changing topics then I don’t know where they should be discussed. And seeing as it was National Pro-Life Shirt day (granted it’s not a nationally sanctioned day), don’t you think it made sense for her to wear it to promote her viewpoint?
