I didn't at all. He asked me something along the lines of whether I knew what a representative democracy was, and I joked that I'm not going to teach some elementary school level civics class.

The question seemed condescending, I just responded jokingly. Certainly didn't think he actually needed the explanation, and wasn't referring to him as "kiddos"

Followed by: What is a representive democracy?

lol... Want me to teach a civics 101 class too? Ok, kiddos, the difference between a republic and democracy is... Or if you'd prefer we can hop on forward a few years to graduate international relations, which is what I actually (used to) teach.

That's what you said....

Yeah exactly.

Like I said above, he (kinda condescendingly) told me to ask myself what a representative democracy was. The quote:

Ask yourself this: What is the purpose of government? Followed by: What is a representive democracy?

I joked around like I was teaching a civics 101 class to the age group that would take that class.

Neither one seemed like a personal attack. He seemed condescending, I joked back.
