say no to prop 8

One student brought in a button to share during our morning meeting:

My brother and I went to our first political meeting. I got this button. It says "VOTE NO on proposition 8."

Proposition 8 is currently on the ballot in California. If it passes, it will "eliminate the right for same-sex couples to marry." This share led to a discussion about how there are people who don't believe in gay marriage (we have three families with gay parents in our class) and what a proposition is.

This student has her button proudly pinned to her pink leopard print backpack, along with its button friend: Barack Obama 2008, World Peace, another Human Rights Campaign, Junior Rangers, and MusicMaker.org.

I love it! Can't get enough of it! It was such a special share...that young people are exposed to and thinking about issues like this is truly inspiring!
