Overheard a conversation this weekend between a Dad and two elementary school children.
Dad: Do you know who Martin Luther King was?
Child 1: Of course we do!
Child 2: He was a great man.
Child 1: He freed the slaves.
Child 2 nods in agreement.
Dad: What? No he didn’t, he fought against discrimination and racial inequality.
Child 1: You’re wrong.
Child 2: That’s not what our teachers say.
The obvious solution to this: enlarge the department of education and pay teachers more . . .
