Says a lot about our educational system....
In a Seattle Washington college ( Note: a College! ) classroom,
they were discussing the qualifications to be President of the United
States. It was pretty simple--the candidate must be a natural-born citizen
of at least 35 years of age.
However, one girl in the class immediately started in on how unfair
was the requirement to be a natural-born citizen. In short, her opinion
was that this requirement prevented many capable individuals from becoming
president. The class was taking it in and letting her rant, but everyone's
jaw hit the floor when she wrapped up her argument by stating, "What makes
a natural-born citizen any more qualified to lead this country than one
born by C-section?"
Yep, these are the 18-year-olds that recently voted.
It really makes you wonder where we are headed.
