I am in total shock this morning. My 1st and 2nd grade daughters asked why I would want to vote for Obama when he is going to kill babies and let men marry men and women marry women. When asked where they got these ideas, they stated that they heard it from some classmates of theirs. Upon further questioning, the classmates were told by their parents to tell all their friends at school. I am appalled and disheartened by the fact that supposed responsible parents(ones whom I consider friends)would actually involve the kids in this manner. I am a licensed child care provider, protecting and nurturing is my business, so I take great offense to this. These children are just that...children. They should not be expected to carry out that kind of propaganda BS among their friends and classmates.
