I applaud her for that. I makes me happy to see that kind of strength in the face of such stupidity.
I lose my sensibility when it comes to things like this.
Something similar happened to both my sons. Now, I know a lot don't agree with third party voters, so take this with a grain of salt. In both my sons classes they had mock elections. The problem was the ballots only had two choices, McCain and Obama. Both of my sons wanted to write in Ron Paul, but were told they could not. They had to vote for one or the other. So, they both refused to vote. Whether you agree with third party voting or not, I call that kind of educating immoral and I call it indoctrination.
I am very proud of my sons today.
