Child speaks her mind on election

DEAR EDITOR:

My 10-year-old daughter, Willow Catron, a fifth-grader at Champion Middle School, spoke the most incredible statement this morning about the upcoming election.

She has been adamant on her non-support of Donald Trump, since day one. She said if they would take a poll in her school that all the adults would be voting for Donald Trump, while all the children would vote for Hillary.

The kids, who will be stuck with the person elected for possibly eight years, are noticing the hateful sexist and racist things Trump is saying, and they are realizing that they will never be able to look up to someone like that.

I am not political and have never put thoughts or ideas into her mind. She is a very smart, talented young lady with her own mind; and she is not afraid to speak it. I actually couldn’t believe the things that she was saying, everything that she knows about the upcoming election and what she is noticing about Donald Trump.

I am so proud of a daughter who can think for herself and speak on these things and give her side to an election that will affect her until she graduates high school.
