Profs declare correct grammar is racist, no such thing as standard English at symposium
Thank a (union) teacher.
“The Board of Regents on Monday eliminated a requirement that aspiring teachers in New York State pass a literacy test to become certified after the test proved controversial because black and Hispanic candidates passed it at significantly lower rates than white candidates.”
Well, on a positive note, if the new 85,000 IRS agents being hired can’t spell or do math, we don’t have much to worry about.
TODAY’S students cannot spell STOP
The article didn’t say how many misspelled Jackie Robinson signs were in place, or what the cost to replace them all would be. And there will be lawsuits by the offended victims.

I think he played for every major league team. 42 is retired MLB-wide.
Did they ever fix Elvis Aron Presley’s tombstone? (They spelled it Aaron rather than Aron).
“42 is retired MLB-wide”
Yup—pathetic.
In the old days every roadside inn claimed that “George Washington slept here”—modern variation on the scam.

Jakay!
“Great googly moogly!”

The guy who hung the sign probably knew that a member of America’s Royal Race made the sign—and knew that offending the Royal Family meant they would be fired.
Good point.
‘Jakie’ was probably is true name, and spelling it ‘Jackie’ was forced on him by his oppressors.
Jakie is Scottish slang from a homeless alcoholic.
