Now do the same thing for the other tens of millions of blacks who are effectively illiterate, so our crime rate might go down and put the economy back on track.

Unlike those that mocked Jeantel’s speech and mannerisms during the trial, Martin allegedly never judged Jeantel for her personality or the way she spoke.

Probably because he was just as illiterate as she was,

[dfwgator]

So she can write in cursive now?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Poor Saint Trayvon. All he wanted to do, according to Saint Rachel's sworn testimony, is give the creepy @$$-crackah a little @$$-whooping, and the white-Hispanic George Zimmerman overreacted.

[andyk]

Oh, please. We graduate illiterates every day. What is she now, 20? 21? Congrats.

[Bogey78O]

They’re just going to run with their fictitious narrative.

[Still Thinking]

Did she actually graduate or did they hand her a diploma because they were scared not to?

[edpc]

The future for Jeantel includes continued meetings with tutors, a university education and a potential career as a clothing designer.

Perhaps she could really challenge herself a pursue a degree in cursive.

[Huskrrrr]

I’m happy for her. I hope she makes something of herself and avoids the welfare trap.

[MNDude]

now she will say “That is retardid sah” in a scholarly voice.

“When they say it takes a village to raise a child, this is what has happened here,” said Vereen.”

It takes a village to raise a kid when the Father isn’t around. Don’t know how to solve that problem. Maybe create a testicle bank and hold people’s gonads until they can prove they are adult enough to understand the consequences of misusing them.

Hopefully this young lady goes on to be a successful career person in her field of chosen endeavor, and judging by the obstacles she has already overcome, I am sure she will.

The real tragedy of Martin is no one seems to have come away with the right lessons.

Don’t play cop if you aren’t one. And don’t go acting like macho man when you don’t have any idea who you going to beat down. If either Martin or Zimmerman had simply called law enforcement instead of playing Dick Tracy or Tough guy, Martin would be alive today and Zimmerman would be a happier man.

attorney Rod Vereen worked to get Jeantel on the right track by gathering tutors, psychologists and mentors

All plural.

[JimRed]

Social promotion?

[Tax-chick]

Miami defense and civil rights attorney Rod Vereen worked to get Jeantel on the right track by gathering tutors, psychologists and mentors to take her from an elementary school reading and math level to high school graduation ...

I hope she goes on to a crime-free, self-supporting life. It's like feeding one person ... doesn't "solve" hunger, but you feed one person.

[pogo101]

We snicker because of the politically correct overtones, not because we aren’t glad she graduated from high school. Everyone’s glad about THAT — better late than never, and may she get a job, too! (Better than my paying for welfare.)

[smokingfrog]

Good for her.

[Dr. Ursus]

I don’t have to make my mark on my EBT card!

[TurboZamboni]

Good for her.

I hear the White Hut is looking for a new press secretary.

[demshateGod]

She’s effectively illiterate. I wonder how many people St. Martin would have killed by now had Zimmerman not smoked him. At least one (Zimmerman).

[Dallas59]

Ask her when the Constitution was written, how many amendments there are, when did WW2 start, what’s 4x4...

[exit82]

“The witness who didn’t know how to speak English knows how to speak English through the 12th grade now. I never quit,” she told Yahoo News.

By today's standards, that is nothing to brag about, sweetie.

I did not write this in cursive, just for you.
