1. Obama requested that these students should be respected.
   His son would probably be like them.

2. it sounds like something I used to do when I was 14 years old. eh, what do you want from kids? that they should be adults?

3. #1 ader:
   Stop the Obama bashing. I don’t agree with him but don’t apply your hate to him in everything. [also, he has two daughters, no sons]

4. Ader
   President Obama does not have a son.
   Why would you make such a nasty, racist comment?

5. #2,when you were 14 years old and you went to either Yad Vshem or the Holocaust Memorial Museuem, would you have trashed it?

6. agree with lazerc, plus another point. these kids are in junior high, so they are max 12-15 years old. that would make them roughly ages 2-5 at the time of 9/11. to them, this place is just something out of their history textbooks, that they are then taking a field trip to visit, much like a trip to the liberty bell or the like. they don’t take it as personally as adults because they were too young to experience 9/11 and comprehend the loss of life.

   and c’mon, you’ve never thrown a penny or the like down a fountain before? they probably didn’t think it was a big deal. i don’t think they ‘deliberately tossed garbage’ in order to ‘trash’ the fountain. they just threw trash in.

   and unfortunately my first thought when hearing about this on the radio was…’please don’t be Jewish…please don’t be Jewish’…..and relief to hear it was a public school. how’s that reflective of frum kids behavior on field trips to secular sites?…….

7. Shlomo2 and Moose613, stop pretending you didn’t get Ader’s reference. And Moose, what racism are you talking about? Where did you see any racism? You are a shill for the 0bama campaign.
