A fifth grade student from New York City was told by his principal that he could not give a speech in support of gay marriage at his school’s graduation. Kameron Slade, a student at PS 195 in Queens wrote a speech about ending prejudice and accepting all people as they are. Kameron wrote about his experiences after meeting a same-sex couple who were friends of his mother.“This family seemed like any other family; the only difference was that there were two moms instead of a mom and dad. Adults must realize that as children get older they become aware of these issues in the world so what’s the point in trying to hide it? Marriage is about love support and commitment so who are we to judge. This is a form a prejudice,” he wrote.
NY1 reports that Kameron Slade, a student at PS 195 in Queens, had planned to deliver the speech for a schoolwide competition. After winning a class competition, Kameron reportedly worked on the speech with his mother and teacher.“Like President Obama, I believe that all people should have the right to marry whoever they want,” Slade says in the poignant speech, which he delivered in full on NY1. He also speaks about his own experiences with a lesbian couple, who are friends with his mother.
they can say what they want teach their kids to continue the hate culture but a legitimate kid that has no hate but love for his family is denied the ability to express that, because of others bigotry.
they find it ok to by stifiling him they deny his first amendment right's and force their opinion on other's who may not believe in prejudice. just another example of what a right wing world would be like, you only get to hear and see their opinion's. hey wasn't there an "outer limits" episode like this?
do you really feel that if you allow the republicans back in either through not showing up to stand up for yourself or voting the other way, will get you anything but a "damn why didn't i vote". recognize
