Now, I’m thinking about Rachel Jeantel, that young lady from the Trayvon Martin murder trial, the girl who sat on the witness stand and admitted in front of God and everybody that she didn’t use and could not even read cursive writing.
“Now, I’m thinking about Rachel Jeantel,”
Somewhere I learned more about Rachel Jeantel. She was in the special ed class while in school. She had some kind of learning disability or something that required her to be there. I’m not sure if that is why she never learned to do cursive writing or it was not taught to her.
When she was on the stand and she said she “could not read cursive writing” I was thinking she could not read at all judging by the way she looked at the words on the page. Even people who can’t do cursive writing can read it. At least we could in grade school.
