Qualified to be President?
What Next???


The following is believed to be a funny and true story shared by K.C. Williams, who teaches AP Government at Santa Fe High School:

In one of K.C.'s classes, they were discussing the qualifications to be president of the United States. It was pretty simple - the candidate must be a natural born citizen 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.

KC and the class were just 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???"

I wonder if she was BLOND???? (No)

A truly sad commentary on the education of our most precious resources, our children.


We are not human beings going through a temporary spiritual experience.

Um ... what can I say? Something was lacking in her civics course, or maybe she was texting a friend when they discussed this. Hmmm ...
