A 7-year old revolutionary
Thanks to poetess Sheri Booker for forwarding me this article.
Don't say anything bad about Columbus.
"A 7-year-old prodigy unleashed a firestorm when she recited a poem she wrote comparing Christopher Columbus and Charles Darwin to "pirates" and "vampires" who robbed blacks of their identities and human rights. " Read NY post article.
Wow, I wonder if I am more in shock at the fact that she's been officially banned, or at the fact that she is only 7-years old and writing some serious poems.
Officially banned. No questions asked. She's seven. Wow.
