It was the first day of school and a new student named
Chandrashekhar Subrahmanyam entered the fourth grade.
The teacher said, “Let’s begin by reviewing some American
History.
Who said “Give me Liberty, or give me Death”?
She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Chandrashekhar, who
had his hand up: “Patrick Henry, 1775” he
said.
“Very good!” Who said “Government of the People, by the People,
for the People, shall not perish from the Earth?”
Again, no response except from Chandrashekhar. “Abraham
Lincoln, 1863” said Chandrashekhar.
The teacher snapped at the class, “Class, you should be
ashamed. Chandrashekhar, who is new to our country, knows more!
About its history than you do.”
She heard a loud whisper: “F**k the Indians,”
“Who said that?” she demanded. Chandrashekhar put his hand up.
“General Custer, 1862.”
At that point, a student in the back said, “I’m gonna puke.”
The teacher glares around and asks “All right! Now, who said
that?”
Again, Chandrashekhar says, “George Bush to the
Japanese Prime Minister, 1991.”
Now furious, another student yells, “Oh yeah? S*ck this!”
Chandrashekhar jumps out of his chair waving his hand and
shouts to the teacher, “Bill Clinton, to Monica
Lewinsky, 1997!”
Now with almost mob hysteria someone said “You little [naughty word removed]. If
you say anything else, I’ll kill you.”
Chandrashekhar frantically yells at the top of his voice,
“Gary Condit to Chandra Levy, 2001.”
The teacher fainted. And as the class gathered around the
teacher on the floor, someone said,
“Oh [naughty word removed], we’re f**ked!” And Chandrashekhar said quietly,
“George Bush, Iraq, 2005.”
