ASK THE QUESTION.

The First Amendment gives you the right to ask and it gives your students ( and us here) the right to answer as we see fit.

I once went to school to help my friend's nine year old daughter give a social studies presentation. Somehow I managed to say that the pyramids are in Africa and the class exploded with denials. So we got out a map and look up Egypt. The next day the little girl was bullied because "that person made Egypt African."

Such is my power. Hear me and fear me.
Ask the question.
