“Good Morning, Class.
Today we’re going to study
a variety of subjects.
I want you to open your
Text books and turn to Page One.
We’ll begin with Social Studies,
then continue with Language Skills,
Mathematics and Science.
There’ll be time for Recreation,
but today we’ll learn about
the Great Men and Women
who changed the Course of History
and gave us the Ideas and Ideals that propel
us as a Free People into the Future.
You may have ideas of your own
Here today which will determine
not only the course of your own life,
but your contribution to the Destiny and Progress
of Humankind.
Are there any questions?”
“Yes, teacher. Why are you wearing a gun?”
“Because nothing I have said here today makes
the slightest difference whatsoever
and the only lesson you really need to learn
in this or any other class is
the sacred right of violence.”
