When in doubt, answer 'MLK'

A "review sheet" distrubuted to Texas teachers -- what level, it doesn't say -- has some helpful hints for students:

"1. If it is a question about a person from the Revolutionary Era, the answer is George Washington or Thomas Jefferson.
2. If it is a question about a women's rights leader, the answer has to be Susan B. Anthony.
3. If it is a question about a civil rights leader, the answer will likely be Martin Luther King."

I'm guessing this has something to do with a standardized test which Texas students have to take. What a farce.
