@georgetakei Today I taught French to third-graders. We talked about
#democracy in France and why it is not a kingdom any more nor a
#dictatorship They understood the concept of
#king very well, why it is bad. But struggled understanding the difference to
#dictators. I insisted "yes kids, you're right it is like a king… but in modern days." I explained nuances, but kids are smart, they totally saw through it.
#Caesar in Ancient Rome could not say the bad word king, he was a princeps … same shit
