The leader of the resistance to Paul Ryan is not even old enough to drive yet. 。
Jordan McCray-Robinson was one of close to 100 8th grade students from South Orange Middle School who recently refused to participate in a photo-op with House Speaker Paul Ryan in May. 。
Now, McCray-Robinson is back resisting Ryan. The young student published an op-ed today for her local newspaper, The Village Green, where she defended her decision, speaking with more spit, vinegar, and passion than most adult pundits.。

"I am here to tell the nation that although we’re only in the 8th grade, we have our own thoughts and opinions ... I decided I didn’t want to take a picture with someone who doesn’t have my best interests in mind. Mr. Ryan and the administration want to cut health care for 23 million people. Am I one of those U.S citizens that will be affected?"。
The young writer also interviewed some of his fellow classmates who said they don't support Ryan or the Trump administration, because "it’s important that kids of different backgrounds are able to speak out."。
I'm not crying, you're crying! Stop crying at work! Stop crying at work!。
