I dont want to be associated with him: 100 eighth graders refuse to pose with Paul Ryan during DC trip

About 100 eighth grade students refused to pose with Speaker of the House Paul Ryan on Friday, snubbing the top Republican to protest his policies.
Though Ryans official Instagram features a photo of him waving to a group students from South Orange Middle School in South Orange, New Jersey, it does not show their peers sitting in a park lot across the street, in an apparent rebuff of the GOP leader.
Its not just a picture, student Matthew Malespina told ABC News. Its being associated with a person who puts his party before his country.
When he learned of his schools impending photo op with Ryan, Malespina texted his mother hes just not going to do it.

An equal number of students opted to participate in the photo.

slime ball stood for.. to refuse to enable his insane ass with a photo op.

Saddens me, however, that eighth graders can spot a snake while so many adults keep re-electing him.
