I'm VERY proud of this girl! She stood up for what's right and isn't backing down. We NEED young people like this to fight for our cause!

The online Houston Newspaper has attempted to HIDE this article on the back pages, hardly any comments and will soon be gone without comments from readers!

Again, as I commented on another article, "our" FAMILIES are at the mercy of ILLEGALS and their Anchor Babies being murdered, raped, infected with disease, or robbed. But NOT to worry the Chamber of Commerce will get their "cheap labor" increasing "their privatized" PROFITS, thanks to Bush and the Congressional Leadership!!

Athens girl says anti-illegal immigration sign led to attack
© 2008 The Associated Press


ATHENS, Texas — An East Texas girl who made an anti-illegal immigration sign as part of a U.S. history class assignment said she was beaten by other students.


Her sign said: "If you love our nation, stop illegal immigration."


The father of Melanie Bowers, 13, of Athens said he's keeping her out of classes until probably next week until the situation is resolved.


"She's upset, first and foremost, because she didn't feel like she had any reason to be attacked," J.R. Bowers told The Associated Press on Tuesday. "She loves going to school.


We're having to keep her out because we're scared for her."


As a class project, students made "protest signs" about past and current issues.


Melanie Bowers took her sign to school March 31. J.R. Bowers said his eighth-grade daughter was attacked Friday in a hallway. She suffered scrapes and bruises and later sought medical attention.


Shera Bowers said her daughter's sign was torn up at school.


Police are reviewing security video from Athens Middle School.
Superintendent Fred Hayes said the investigation continues.


"I think that probably what we ought to look at is, if it's a current issue, we probably don't need a protest poster made on that issue," Hayes said.

I just hope that this girl has not suffered in vain and instead that the incident backfires onto the perparators and that it results in deportations of them and of the people in their families.

No, you should look at it as these thugs need to either be jailed or deported or both. THE GIRL DID NOTHING WRONG.

Some of the comments are blaming the girl for being attacked.

I guess in Mexico it is acceptable for boys to threaten girls at school. There MUST be an investigation.

What happened to free speech? Just because you don't like what is said, you don't have the right to threaten anyone.

What do you think would happen if an Hispanic girl had been attacked by white boys for making an Amnesty Now sign???????
