What's the..."I'll call on a boy first, then a girl....Can't he just do that without this demeaning explanation??? Geez...what a doofus...
When I called on students (Sunday school classes) it was by their name and if I didn't know their name it was “young man in the far corner” or “the gentleman in the far corner” or “the young lady in the back row.”
Seriously...the President and his advisers needs to take a protocol class ASAP.
