Well, I wasn’t thinking that you LIED, exactly. Just that maybe you massaged events a little bit. People have different standards, you know?

My specific problem is with your account that your daughter raised this question so long after the fact. In my own experience, both as a child, and as a parent, such questions would arise “on the spot”, but never after the fact. Hence, with the fibers.

And, I might add, that these sorts of anecdotal formulas are notoriously unreliable - they’re a “red flag”. I mean, Hillary Clinton isn’t the only one, you know?

None of this has anything to do with politically correct thinking suck-ups or far left extreme race baiters, as far as I can tell.

Courtesy Comment:

I can assure you that she did ask and there was some prior discussion in her class about the use of black slang.

Our town is is predominantly Hispanic with lots of illegals and the school ratio is 88 percent Hispanic, 8 percent white and 2 percent black students.

By the way my daughter is extremely intelligent and I hope she grows up to be a physician like her mother.
