Some first graders from California sent letters to president-elect Donald Trump and they are going viral, as one asked Trump to "let people with different color skin be friends."
Innocent they may seem, these first graders told Trump their sentiments like adults, except for the wrong spellings, wrong grammar and wrong syntax. One wrote, "Dear Mr. Trump, I hope you don't start a war."
One student named Nicole asked Trump to be kind and honest and not to cause fights between Americans and immigrants, saying if Trump follows all of what she stated, he is bound to be a "wonderful" president.
Cole, despite misspelling all of his words, told Trump not to discriminate African-Americans and immigrants. He also wrote in his letter that Trump should not say those who are not white are robbers and criminals.
The students' candor showed as Luca pleaded Trump in her letter to increase the tax for rich people.
Angela touched on the topic of Trump once saying he will deport illegal immigrants. She wrote, "Please do like Mexicans and do not send us to Mexico.
Marie Keating, the teacher of the first graders, encouraged her students to write the letters and guided them with their spelling and other queries. She did this after Trump's win became the talk of the school, KRON4 reported.
Keating then posted the letters in her Facebook account. The letters went viral as New York Magazine picked up the story and presented the letters in a slideshow. The kids' letters drew positive reactions from netizens and commenters. However, some commenters were skeptical, saying that the kids are merely repeating what they have been hearing in their household. Keating begs to disagree.
"Each of these children, the children in my class are fully capable of making their own decisions on this, and it really shows through in their letters," Keating said.
Here is a video of first graders presenting the letters they have written for Donald Trump.
