How embarrassing is THIS! (Not a question so much as a rant)?

In a town not far from where I live, a bunch of elementary kids on a bus were chanting 'assassinate Obama.' Is that not the worst thing you've ever heard!? Elementary kids! They don't even know what 'assassinate' means yet, they must have heard adults around them talking about it! I am so embarrassed to be from Idaho right now, we are already known for nothing but potatoes and rednecks, now we get to be known for being racist, ignorant bigots as well. What I wouldn't give for people to shut up already about Obama's skin color. Honestly, who cares if the man is black, orange, pink or blue? He's going to have the same ideals regardless of his color! WHY do I live in a state with such ignoramuses??

    Kids repeat what they hear. This is an indictment against their parents.

    The real world is showing. Why do you think racism is everywhere? The kids pick it up from the parents. Idaho is no worse than any state.

    If they're elementary kids, they most likely don't even know what they're talking about.

    They probably think it's 'cool' to be saying that or something.

    There's no actual meaning behind their words.

    But you're right - they are completely and entirely ignorant.
