What a beautiful women
Will go down in history as the best president we never had
Hillary Clinton offered another endorsement on Wednesday -- to an 11-year-old student who made headlines for kneeling during the Pledge of Allegiance.
Clinton tweeted in response to a NowThis report on Mariana Taylor, a Maryland sixth-grader who refused to stand for her classroom’s recitation of the pledge, instead adopting the form of protest used by NFL players.
Clinton tweeted.“It takes courage to exercise your right to protest injustice, especially when you’re 11! Keep up the good work Mariana,”
The Washington Post reported in May that Taylor, a student at Catonsville Middle School, is a “sixth-grader with strong beliefs about racial injustice, sexism, gay rights and President Trump’s proposed wall at the Mexico border.”
According to the Post, Taylor says she was reprimanded by her teacher, leading to the involvement of her parents as well as the American Civil Liberties Union of Maryland. However, her school has said she wasn’t punished for her actions.
“We know of no [Baltimore County Public Schools] student who has been reprimanded or punished for nonparticipation in patriotic observances,” the school said in a statement. “We fully support students’ rights and encourage student voice as articulated in board policy.”
HILLARY CLINTON DEFENDS KNEELING NFL PLAYERS, SAYS 'THAT'S NOT AGAINST OUR ANTHEM OR OUR FLAG'
Clinton, with her tweet, was doing more than weighing in on a local school dispute. Speaking in support of kneeling puts her at odds with her political nemisis and 2016 foe, President Trump, who has waged a war of words against football players who kneel during the national anthem.
She also weighed in last year, when promoting her campaign post-mortem “What Happened.”
“Actually, kneeling is a reverent position,” she claimed at the time. “It was to demonstrate in a peaceful way against racism and injustice in our criminal system.”

"Do not think that I came to bring peace... I did not come to bring peace, but a sword." - Matthew 10:34
when i was in 6th grade I was just barely figuring out that da Democrats were not the good guys in Vietnam.
( my family were slavishly Maryland Democrats).
The world is a complicated place. Issues like "racial injustice" need to be understood as well as mitigated.
Anyways I have to wonder about her understanding. anyone can protest - but is it worth kneeling?
Me thinks she should be looking to become an activist and learn about sentencing, and WHY drugs will not go away.
Or poverty as a reason poor blacks deal in the city, etc.
I hate it when I agree with her, but really know, Bill exploded the for profit prison population and she labeled black kids "super predators", do really now, she's toast for good reason.

Still looking at bogus things to whine about, to distract from issues at hand with real consequences? How stupid, and childish.

but you should also understand the waves of violence / killings accompanied the crack explosion.
To this day we cannot figure out how to deal with drugs.
Like pain pills lead to heroin use when pills are severely restricted. ( you plug it here, it comes out there)
Mass incarceration is never the answer but the problem is the violence associated with illegal/severely restricted drugs

Ya I figured that out and stated to attend local afternoon peace demonstrations, and by high school was headed to Universitys.
The damn war was endless no matter who was in power.
I have absolutely no problem killing terrorists, the problem is the poor targeting we do
