He's also supposed to offer an opinion on what MLK would think of his 'dream'.

Well MLK said he dreamed of a day when people would not be judged by the color of their skin but the content of their character, so....maybe she wants your son to write that 'we shouldn't judge Muslims'? My opinion of that is that Islam is a religion - something someone chooses. A persons race is not a choice - it is God given. Maybe just reviewing that fact with your son will help him decide what his opinion is and what MLK would be thinking about this war....FWIW.

Every empire has a state religion, and every state religion has two icons, one to embody ultimate good, and one to embody ultimate evil. In this empire's case the icon of ultimate good is MLK, and the icon of ultimate evil is Adolf Hitler. So, if the kid wants to get an "A", all he has to do is to write a fawning, groveling missive about how great and wonderful MLK was, how he wouldn't want anyone to hate anyone, or anyone to judge anyone, he would just want us all to live in peace. Preferably while holding hands and singing "Kum-by-a" or something equally vapid. Seriously, just write something properly worshipful and meaningless, the kid will get a sure fire "A".

Just don't be surprised when the kid grows up only knowing how to write meaningless papers that nobody will ever care about. Perhaps they could become a journalist?

-----------------------

He said that, but scarcely believed it or acted in accordance with it. This was the same goof that cheated his way through school and was in bed with one or several other woment other than his wife a few hours befor he was shot. Judging King by his character will get you run out of town, or out of class.

King was all hot air and demogogery. He argued against stereotyping Blacks while conforming to the worst of those stereotypes.
