Kids Are Way Smarter Than People Think

Allow me to prove that:

Who is your favorite author?” Aleya Deatsch, 7, of West Des Moines asked Mr. Huckabee in one of those posing-like-a-shopping-mall-Santa moments.

Mr. Huckabee paused, then said his favorite author was Dr. Seuss.

In an interview afterward with the news media, Aleya said she was somewhat surprised. She thought the candidate would be reading at a higher level.

“My favorite author is C. S. Lewis,” she said.

And that's why, when you hear one of these idiot moralists railing on about how we have to censor something or ban something, "because of the children," it's actually "because of the parents."
