MLK
So my daughter merrily tells me that they have been learning about Martin Luther King yesterday. I told her I thought that was very cool...but then the devious side of me took over, for you see this is the same daughter who learned about how "Kwanzaa" was a "holiday celebrated by African Americans." I resisted the temptation for as long as my anti-PC heart could stand it and then finally I burst, suggesting to my daughter: "You might ask your teacher if Martin Luther King celebrated Kwanzaa...since he's African American and all."

(tempted to do the same)
here is my MLK story... i was raised in the Lutheran Church. later, when we were adults, my folks wanted my sister, my wife, and i to join them for family pictures to be taken at their church.
we walk in, and in the office is a picture of Martin Luther, the Reformer. my sister looks at the picture and asks, "who is that?" i respond, "that is Martin Luther." she then says, "i thot he was black."
German-American???
