Jack Black Would Put A Solar Panel On Every Roof And Do Away With School
Except Kindergarten. Because Kindergarten was pretty awesome.

As part of the promotion for his latest animated film Kung Fu Panda, actor Jack Black has agreed to become this month’s guest editor for National Geographic Kids. In a hilarious video on the topic of pandas, the environment, and kung fu, Black answers a bunch of kids’ questions. Here’s our favorite:
If you were elected President, what would be the first thing that you would do when you got into office?
“If I was President? Ok — the first thing I would do is spend half of the federal budget on combating the climate crisis. I would ensure that our entire country was as green as possible. There would be solar panels everywhere — the roof of ever house and the hood of every car.
Then I would do away with school. All of it. It’s totally overrated — a waste of time. Except for Kindergarten. Because Kindergarten is fun. And it actually means ketchup in Chinese. And the 5th grade — 5th grade was fun. It was a blast.
You know what? Forget it. I’m not doing away with school. It was a bad idea.”
Stuff global warming in your stocking! Dedicate trees this holiday season through 
mmmm, ketchup!!
I don’t know Jack…I think sixth grade was much better than 5th. But I have to agree with you on intervening in the climate crisis. Now we’ve just got to get you in the White House. I’ll call up Obama and see if he wants a comedian as his running mate :o)
