A free-thinking group of eighth grades refused to pose with House Speaker Paul Ryan during a field trip to Washington DC on Thursday.
Half of the students from South Orange Middle School in New Jersey stood on the other side of the street as their classmates had their photo taken with Ryan outside the United States Capitol.
When he uploaded the image to Instagram, the ones who had refused to be in it flooded the comments section with insults and complaints.
'Half of us stood across the street including me because we hate you,' said one.
Another spoke to DailyMail.com to explain his decision to not take part.

'The fact that he puts his party before his country, he likes to think of what his party will think of him other than what his country will think of him,' Matthew Malespina, 13 said.
Ryan's Republican stance on healthcare, education and LGBT rights were among the things Matthew disagreed with.

The school has not commented on their protest but Matthew's mother said it gave all students the option to take part or not.
'The school allowed the children to make a choice, they were very good about that. It was all quite peaceful,' she said.
The children were taking part in a field trip to DC when they were told on Wednesday that they would be meeting Ryan.
Matthew texted his mother immediately to tell her that he was concerned and she urged him to let the teachers know he was uncomfortable with it.
When Ryan emerged from the Capitol on Thursday, some students who had agreed to take part were gathered on the steps to have their photograph taken.
The others were stood across the street and Ryan was unaware that they had refused.
On Friday, he uploaded the photograph with the willing students to Instagram, writing alongside it: 'Got that #FridayFeeling'.

The children inundated the post with insults, telling Ryan they 'hate' him and pointing out to others that half of the grade had in fact refused to pose with him

The teenagers even went as far as to say that those who did pose with Ryan did so to make fun of him

The students pounced, pointing out in the comments section that half did not want to be associated with him and accusing him of merely using them as a photo-opp.
'I find this really funny because this is my school and more than half of us chose to step out of that picture. And to add, the school is from a very liberal town, so I'm very proud to say that I was amongst the students who stood ACROSS the street.

'Plus most of the kids who were standing there were only there to make fun of him because he's a walking talking meme, said one.
They were met with comments from Republican supporters who accused them of being disrespectful to the office of the Speaker of the House.
Matthew's mother Elissa supported his decision, telling DailyMail.com she was proud of him and the rest of the children for standing up for what they believe in.
'We've always talked about politics so we've always been a family that has been politically active. We didn't indoctrinate him, he has had a mind of his own ever since he was a small child and he's gathered up his own views.
'We are lucky to live in a community with a large number of active and engaged young people.
'I don't think it was a sign of disrespect. I think it was a sign of peaceful protesting. A sign of disrespect would be to curse the guy off but he chose to not take a picture with a man who was clearly doing it for a photo-op. I think all of them were rather respectful.'
Matthew stood by his decision. He flatly ruled out ever posing with President Trump but enthusiastically said he'd have a snap taken with Hillary Clinton.
'I would never take a picture with that man. Never. (But) Definitely, I would take a picture with Hillary Clinton,' he said.
South Orange Middle School students in the same grade walked out of classes earlier in the year to protest against Trump's inauguration.

Nice of her to encourage her kid to "hate". She should be quite proud of herself and the teaching lesson she's giving her child. I question who the adult in the room is here. Perhaps a better strategy would have been to respectfully ask questions regarding his disagreements so he could here an opposing viewpoint. It's not often you get an opportunity like this.

Words can't explain. These people. Wow

8th graders, one of your more advanced democratic demographics

probably more informed than your average voter

but they're showing a prerequisite for libtardism at a very early age, they have an abundance of spoon fed hate

the parents must be so proud of the fact that they have taught their children to be intolerant of anyone who has an opposing opinion compared to their own. libtards are liberal as long as you agree with their point of view but if disagree then you lose your freedom of speech.

I agree with you, however the disrespect they showed was no worse than the disrespect you guys showed for 8 years towards the POTUS. Once again the hypocrisy on this place stands front and center as always.

Obama's hypocrisy stood front and center for 8 years. Republicans showed their disrespect by voting over 1,000 Democrats out of office and taking control of the House, the Senate, the presidency, too many governorships and state and local governments to count, not to mention control of the Supreme Court for the next 30+ years.

What's your point in relationship to what my post stated? Are you saying just because Obama was a hypocrite that allows you to be one also? You guys are putting down a bunch of 8th graders because they did the exact same thing all of you did for the last 8 years! All I see in this thread is pointing out the hate and disrespect towards a politician by 8th graders. I guess that makes all of you equal to a bunch of 8th graders. That makes sense now.

you cannot be serious!! how do you compare a public display of disrespect to an adult by children with remarks that are stated on a sports chat room? in what universe are the two situations comparable? this is a perfect example of how demented and irrational you libturds are.

I would bet it was their butt hurt parents who were insisting that their kids not pose with him and were also the ones who banged out those pathetic comments, too. They should be ashamed of themselves, but the liberal inside of them feels they deserve a gold medal.

You're not nearly as intelligent as you believe.

Reason to show disrespect towards a President? What reason, because he did a shitty job? If that's the reason, then Ryan deserves the same disrespect since he and Congress have done a similar shitty job.
