Some of you may remember I said girl child stated her civics teacher announced she was an unabashed liberal and teaches that way also. Well, one of the things that goes on in the class is debate on various topics.

Today's topic - affirmative action and quotas.

Girl child raises a point with the teacher - "what if you have two job applicants, a hispanic and a white, for a single job, and the white person is more qualified but there are only hispanic slots remaining?" [Excellent opening question - the answer is obvious to a leftist, allows the leftist the opportunity to appear superior, and suggests ignorance on the part of the interregator.]

Answer - "the hispanic gets the job." [As expected.]

Girl child says, "ok, but let's suppose the same situation, but there are only white slots remaining?" [Taking it up a notch, still leaving wiggle room for the expected leftist answer.]

Answer - "the hispanic would still get the job as this person is a minority." [As expected.]

Girl child continues, "all right, what, then, if the hispanic is more qualified, and there are only hispanic slots remaining - if in the last situation the hispanic got the job, then shouldn't the white person get the job in this situation? Or are there no situations in which the white person will get the job" [KA-BOOM!]

Silence from the teacher - she knew she had been had by a 13-year-old she had seriously underestimated.

Girl child done good!!!

Congratulations on having such a smart daughter. You've obviously taught her well. My oldest daughter is 14 and I can see that she's good at raising these kinds of questions, but her shyness might keep her from any kind of confrontation with any liberals lurking in her classrooms.
