The Butterfly Effect and my 8th grader. "What if Lincoln wasnt killed...
and the south won the civil war, and emancipation never happened,and say JFK's family still had slaves...What would that have made JFK?" = A question from my son's RW, moran teacher.

My Kid's answer = "A republican".

I LOVE IT!!!

2. JFK as in John F. Kennedy?

Didn't know his family owned slaves. They came from Ireland in 1858 and settled in Boston, a free state. Hmmm...

7. I know. He's trying to make a RW, blowhard point that blew up in his face.
This dickhead is a crew cutted, ex-navy Seal who has pics of bu$h and Reagan on his desk and calls long-haired boys "girls", in class.

11. I taught him right.
You'd be surprised how RW the teachers are here in San Diego.
One of his teachers had a political debate forum once a week. If you spoke bad of the Fuhrer/administration, you were stifled.
That really pissed me and my kid off. His Mom (ex), went down and ripped her a new one.
How can you have a debate if only one side is allowed to speak?

8. He called my kid a subversive. He laughed because he's smarter
than his teacher.

5. Brilliant!

I remember making some quips like that when I was in grade school. Of course, I never had very many RW teachers.
