Got that #FridayFeeling 👊 A post shared by Speaker Paul Ryan (@speakerryan) on May 26, 2017 at 6:39am PDTIt was a small act of defiance: Dozens of eighth-grade students from South Orange Middle School in New Jersey declining to pose for photographs with House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) during a trip to Washington. Others denounced the students’ behavior, saying they disrespected Ryan by refusing to do something as simple as appear in a photo with him. “I am here to tell the nation that although we’re only in the 8th grade, we have our own thoughts and opinions,” Jordan wrote. “I know what Paul Ryan stands for and I’m not going to take a picture with him,” Jordan said. If I’m not in the ‘real world,’ where am I?” Jordan wrote.
