re: #52 SanFranciscoZionist

I’m so pissed off. The kids’ vocabulary book tells them that Emma Lazarus’s parents were ‘immigrants from Russia’.

HOW AM I TO TEACH UNDER THESE CONDITIONS?

Oh look, her parents were named Moshe & Esther.

Hmmm. Must have been cossacks. Wait, except that they didn’t seem to have been anywhere near Russia at any time, or even Europe.

Hmmm. Maybe they were New Amsterdam Dutch?

Amish. They were amish.

No, wait, must have been Scot-Irish.

Japanese?

Running out of ideas here.
