Class Discussion

Me: "Okay, so how di Martin Luther disagree with the Catholic Church?"
Kids: "He thought they should let black people in"
Me: "Ok... no. You're thinking of Martin Luther King... He was named after Martin Luther"
Kids: "Was Martin Luther his dad?"
Me: "Uh, no... look at your textbook, there's a picture of Martin Luther... do you notice any ways he's different from Martin Luther King?
Kids: "He's bald?"
Me: "Um, how about Martin luther was in like 1500 and white, Martin Luther King was black and doing stuff in 1960"
Kid: *belately waking up* "They made Martin Luther a King?"
Me: *Shoots students, self*
