Kids Say The Darndest Things
Posted by Catherine on Sep 7, 2007 in Uncategorized |
Student comes into class, sees magazine, chuckles and says,
“Figures.”
“What?” Teacher asks.
“Check out Barack Obama. How typical that they put the black guy’s face on the body with the biggest d*ck.”
“Ryan!” Teacher says, shocked. “That’s awful and nothing you should say in school. I don’t want to hear anything like that again. Do you understand me?”
“Yeah, jeez, I’m sorry! I didn’t mean anything by it. Gosh…”
Student takes a seat. Teacher looks away. Disgusted.
How inappropriate.
How rude.
How racist.
Teacher looks at the cover again.
How true.
Oh my.
Disproportionately blessed...
