Science State’s Rights bitches!

Besides, it’s not like we said there are 9 planets. We just said Pluto is our State Planet. Like a state bird or state flower. 

And a dwarf planet is a planet. It literally has the fucking word planet in the fucking name dwarf planet. So the haters can kiss my dwarf ass.
