Yet our betters celebrate the non-binary, LGBTQ, illiterate Gangsta lifestyles.

#5 Planned Parenthood is probably gnashing their teeth. This girl should have been aborted, not adopted! (according to their philosophy)

#6 The mythical "black Einstein" cannot be aborted, only shot by a rayciss white cop.

#7 Once upon a time, I would find this story heartwarming. But the last half decade has turned me into a cynical old bastard and cynicism is the rule of the day. Ask yourself, given the current political climate, would you want to be the one to give this prodigy a B- on the Organic Chemistry exam?

Having worn glasses from a young age, I doubt anyone deliberately takes a power nap face down on a book wearing their glasses. Falling asleep during homework, I can see. That the caption says "Alena takes a power nap while working her way through some figures and calculations" makes me think someone is selling something.
