FALL IN LINE Students at Washington Mill Elementary School in nearby Fairfax County were asked last Friday to wear red ribbons distributed by school officials in support of President-elect Barack Obama. "Each student will be given a red ribbon to wear that day," advised a school flier sent home earlier with the children. Pictures of Mr. Obama and Martin Luther King adorned the flier. One student, the son of well-known Washington public relations executive Craig Shirley, declined to wear a ribbon. "Needless to say, the school did nothing like this four or eight years ago," pointed out Mr. Shirley, referring to the inaugurations of President Bush. "My research assistant ... who grew up under communism in Yugoslavia, said this indoctrination was identical to the communist system there, only they had to wear red scarves to show their love for [president for life] Marshal Tito."
