...through the eyes of my 7th and 8th graders. Here are some of the funniest comments I've heard from my students today about the results of the election last night.
"Now in four years we'll all be Communists!"
"If McCain would have just won California he would have won the whole thing!"
Student: "I voted for McCain!"
Tori (another teacher): "You don't have the right to vote."
Student: "In the MOCK election!"
A very tiny, black student: "Now I want to be president! ...or a professional basketball player!"
Student: "Did you know Texas was a read state?"
Me: "Yes I did. Did you know Michigan was a blue state?"
Student: "Huh... figures!"
"California said no more gay marriage."
"Too bad, C, I was gonna marry you there."
"Dude, what?"
Me (to a male student): "T, are you wearing a headband?"
T: "Yes."
Me: "Why?"
T: "Because Barack Obama is gonna make gay marriage so my friend and I are wearing headbands like gay guys."
Me: "Oh. Gay guys wear headbands?"
T: "Do they ever!"
And one truly valid question, "Now that gay marriage is over in California... what happens to all the gay people who got married there? Are they still married? Or is it like it never happened?"
Well, I don't know.

"Do they ever!" haha! what an intense combination: middle schoolers x Republicans x Texans. whoah!
We've got a whole bunch of transplanted Texans, evidently! There've been some wild comments from the HS kids, too, but a parent (who might sue me BTW!) told me on the phone today that "two of your staff members" said Obama was Muslim. ****sigh*** We DID laugh at Kathy's DH who said if Obama was elected he "wouldn't be able to hunt any more because they'd take away his guns!" Dan said, "only is he hunts with oozies!" LOL
