I was at DFW today, getting ready for my trip to Atlanta, and and I saw a young girl (pre-teen probably) with a backpack on, and on the backpack was a rather large button that said "It's OK to be Smart" and I just had to think this one over for awhile.

What would prompt someone to think that it wasn't OK to be smart? Is it a guy/gal thing? Would a guy be likely to sport a similar button? Or was it just bragging on her part? Maybe she wants the world to know that she's smart! I don't know, but when I passed her by, I paused and said, YES! It's MORE than OK to be smart! In fact, it's preferable.
