“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States..."

54. it's arrogant to think you are smart

and arrogant to belittle other people for stupidity.

Taking a big chance, here is what Martin said about people who might be stupid, or relatively stupid.

"Everybody can be great. Because everybody can serve.

You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve. You don't have to know about Plato and Aristotle to serve. You don't have to know Einstein's theory of relativity to serve. You don't have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve.

You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love." - Martin Luther King

He said they could be great. He didn't try to tear them down by "calling them out". He tried to build them up, to encourage them to be great.

Perhaps we should remember THAT on the 50th anniversary of "I have a dream".
