Teachers, don’t you wish a student would turn in something like this from time to time?

Retired teacher of law, economics, history, AP government, psychology and science. Former speechwriter, press guy and legislative aide in U.S. Senate. Former Department of Education. Former airline real estate, telecom towers, Big 6 (that old!) consultant. Lab and field research in air pollution control. My blog, Millard Fillmore's Bathtub, is a continuing experiment to test how to use blogs to improve and speed up learning processes for students, perhaps by making some of the courses actually interesting. It is a blog for teachers, to see if we can use blogs. It is for people interested in social studies and social studies education, to see if we can learn to get it right. It's a blog for science fans, to promote good science and good science policy. It's a blog for people interested in good government and how to achieve it.

King DID plagiarize large portions of his doctoral thesis, misappropriated church money on alcohol and was a known womanizer, “F___ing relieved stress” I didn’t notice any “invented” flaws. He did great things in history, he was not the be all end all though
And you have verifiable evidence to prove that claim right?

King didn’t plagiarize most of his speeches. Lots of churches spend money on alcohol — it’s a sacrament in the Catholic church. I think you’ve erred on the issue of prostitutes, too — King had many, many admirers.
Sure, King had flaws. His greatness outshines those flaws. The flaws are serious enough — there’s no reason to exaggerate them, or invent new ones whole cloth.
Besides, it’s a comparison with Glenn Beck. Do you have a clue?

Very biased presentation, isn’t it? They didn’t show Mr. King’s flaws, such as the fact that he plagiarized most of his speeches, spent church money on alcohol, and fornicated with prostitutes despite being a married man. Oh, but including that would defeat the purpose, wouldn’t it? Of course.
