Today our school children saw results of 21st century racism. I wonder what's going through
their minds?

1. Kids seem to adore President Obama.
I doubt they recognized the racism in what happened. Every time I see the President with a group of children, they're all just beaming at him. They know.

2. There are the junior high and high school kids. They are more aware and I wonder how they feel about
this. No other president has ever had to display his b.c. to the public.

3. I doubt they'll think much about it at all.
Yes, they're aware, but they're also perfectly capable of ignoring anything that doesn't seem relevant to them. Birth certificates are sort of meaningless to middle-schoolers and high-schoolers. That nobody in history has had to show one to run for office isn't probably even on their minds.

I remember that age. If it didn't matter right now, it didn't matter at all, pretty much.
