One Little Girl's Political Art



Whatever your political orientation, I hope you can appreciate the decision by a 9-year-old to use her "art project" time to work on a political statement. Not very many years ago, many of us were decrying the apathy of youth.

I don't much care which party a kid supports as long as she is paying attention and getting involved. At my daughter's age, I was already a committed Republican, sporting an "I like Ike" button.

But I didn't have the ability to express my opinions visually. By a few years later, I was writing a political newsletter that nobody (but me) ever read.

Unlike me, my little girl is an instinctive liberal, not a conservative.

Which, at this juncture, is fine by me. :)
