Unbelievable

Today, Prof. Civ Pro asked our class if we've ever heard of Dred Scott. Let me repeat that. If we've ever heard of Dred Scott. Not read Dread Scott, but heard of it. Then, she seemed genuinely surprised when we told her we had read it for Con Law last semester. Imagine, a room full of law students who hadn't heard of Dred Scott. Does such a group exist?

I was so shocked by the question that I couldn't keep my smart-ass feature in check and said "No, never heard of it... what's that? And what's this "Supreme" court I've been hearing so much about? Is that the one Diana Ross is affiliated with?"

Honestly.
