STUDENTS AT BELLAIRE HIGH SCHOOL TALK POLITICS AND AMERICA'S FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT!

CAN YOU DEBATE THE ISSUE WITHOUT RESORTING TO RACE?

It's called constructive dialogue. That's what students at Bellaire High School do to keep from allowing their emotions to run wild over the historical presidential election.

Around the country, there have been serious issues among grade school students when it comes to the victory of Barack Obama. It has gone down racial lines.

Click here to see the full video story by FOX 26's Isiah Carey.

At Bellaire in the Government Advanced Placement class, students debate the issues rather than turning to nooses or racial slurs.

Teresa Herrin, who teaches government, says she encourage her students to respect one another.

Those students who vigorously argue their viewpoints in Herrin's class may also be headed to the inauguration where President-Elect Obama will be sworn in as the 44th president of the United States.

Gee Ike, I didn't know the national presidential campaign was debated with nooses and racial slurs. That's cheap on your part!

If you can't figure out the purpose of the statement and the context then I'm not going to bother explaining. Good luck with elementary comprehension!

Really? No problem with comprehension, just a problem with the race-baiting...but whatever, it's you website. It's still cheap on your part....
