On this election day, my classroom was abuzz with political opinions as students touted support for their candidates. "Which one did you vote for?" they asked me numerously. I told them that the presidential election was a secret vote.
"I bet you're for McCain," one student finally guessed. A roomful of little Mexican democrats turned its horrified eyes on me.
"Why do you think that?" I asked.
"I don't know," said the little boy. "You just look kind of ... American."
