The teacher showed this well-known, modern-art painting:
and asked,
"What are your impressions of this painting?"
A student raised his hand, scoffed, and said, "Stupid." A few of the other guys in the class chuckled.
"Stupid? Why?" she returned.
"Cause it's strange. It's weird!"
She raised an eyebrow. "And strange equals stupid to you?"
"Well, yeah. Different stuff is stupid."
Seriously?! How utterly sad that this is what attends a center of higher learning.

oh wow- and how brave of this young man. What if someone (shockingly) likes modern art in the class??
definitely open minded:)
and I can't imagine that I'd have any friends if people couldn' look past something a little different once in a while!
Wow, sad. I think it is pretty cool. It reminds me of an insect's view of a hiker.
Wow. Again, the self-proclaimed open-minded people of the world prove that they are, in very fact, the most close-minded.
I like Lisa's comment. The picture also reminds me of how an insect would view a hiker.
