Proof that kids are smarter than adults.
Me: So, there's a department in the government that's issued a rule that says that Catholic hospitals and universities have to provide services that can kill a baby.
Student 1: What?! That be crazy.
Student 2: Wait, so the government made this rule, and Obama's OK wit' it?
Me: Yeah.
Student 2: He be trippin. That's disappointing.
Student 1: They ain't got no business doing that. That be like someone comin' into yo house, tellin' you how to run yo life.
Student 3: I'm sorry, I just don't get it. So you get pregnant, righ?
Me: You're aski — Yeah, OK. Right.
Student 3: Mmmk. You be pregnant. and ya don't wantcha baby, right?
Me: Right.
Student 3: THEN WHY AIN'T YOU BE GIVIN' UP THAT BABY FOR ADOPTION CAUSE THERE BE PLENTY OF PEOPLE THAT CAN'T BE HAVING BABIES THAT WOULD TAKE REAL GOOD CARE OF IT! I'm sorry, Mr. Faas, but I just don't understand.
Me: Your argument makes perfect sense.
Student 1: You don't seem angry about this, Mr. Faas. This is making me angry. Can we like, protest or something?
Me: Yes. Go nuts.
