Here is a young Barack Obama protesting homework in school
There's a future policy maker at work here.
Redditor brokenwhale shared a photo from their father's yearbook that apparently shows a young Barack Obama (or Barry Obama, as he was called as a child) protesting homework.
Clearly, even as a child, Obama was fighting for rights of the people, specifically the right to have our evenings and weekends to ourselves. If only we could make this a law today.
