What makes the US the "greatest country on Earth?"
You haven't traveled much, have you?

Name a single metric, other than military might, where the US is on top -- or even in the top ten.

We're not that prosperous.
We're not that safe.
We're not that free.
We're not that healthy.
We're not that educated.
We're not that secure.
We're not that happy.
Are you experiencing sarchasm?

If the story happened as described then the teacher handled this most poorly. OTOH I would point out something many don't seem to have considered. It is entirely possible that the student, Marissa Barnwell, is lying. I know, it is hard for some to believe it, but sometimes students do lie.
