My best friends' little sister was teased today for liking to read...They even formed a group of all the girls to make a 'I Hate Angela Club'! She came home crying and refuses to read anymore. This-I believe, is one of the saddest things that can happen to anyone at a young age, having what makes you special ripped away from you. So In Angela's honor, I made this photoshoot of Darla as a tribute to all the amazing nerds out there! GO KNOWLEDGE!!!!!!!

One of the things that dismays me about this country is the way ignorance is celebrated. It's hard to win an election if you are "too smart" and smart kids are teased in school (I was one). People who grew up in poverty but went to Harvard on a scholarship because they are smart are mocked as being part of the "elite", yet if you are dumb as a stump and good at throwing a ball, everyone thinks you are just awesome. One thing that really struck me when I went to England to visit my husband's family is how much of a higher-level vocabulary is used on news programs, in papers, and by the general public.

So good for you for trying to make her feel better!

So cute! Tell Angela to not let those meanies win. I say we start the "Corgis against mean girls" Group and we can have the Corgis herd the girls running down the street. From a fellow nerdy girl who loves to read.

Poor Angela! I love the photo. I know just how she feels. I actually had a teacher in middle school give me detention because she said I read too much. A teacher said that!!! I went home and threw all my books away and said I wasn't going to read anymore. But of course, that wasn't true, because I love to read.
