Anyone who has seen Overland High School student Sean Allen, who brought his "geography" "teacher's" hate filled rant to our attention, in television interviews can be reassured that not every member of that generation is a nit-wit.
And here's more proof. By way of Opinion Journal's Best of the Web Today:
The Kids Are Alright
Bradley Lehman of Hockessin, Del., weighs in with a letter to the editor of Wilmington's News Journal:
Because I am 17 years old, some people might say that I am not mature enough to understand many issues. However, let me just say that I get more laughs reading the opinion page than I ever have from the comics.
Delawareans seem to be fixated on bashing President Bush and proposing new conspiracy theories whenever they seem convenient.
President Bush did not cause Hurricane Katrina or the complications afterwards. New Orleans was built below sea level so they should have seen it coming and made preparations themselves.
If Dick Cheney shoots someone by accident on his own time, it is none of your business and neither he nor the president has any obligation to tell you about it.
Finally, it seems unreasonable to me that Bush was able to graduate from Yale University, be elected governor of Texas, and earn the respect and confidence of enough of his peers in the Republican Party to be nominated as their presidential candidate if he is indeed as dim-witted as you say.
I am willing to wager that the majority of Delawareans who get their information from this sorry excuse for a newspaper have barely enough brainpower to govern their own lives, let alone governing a nation of almost 300 million.
Note to pedants: We know alright isn't a word; but please take up any complaints with the World Health Organization.
