She says she doesn’t think “cracker” is a racist term because it’s something they use in her crowd (and Trayvon’s) all the time. I might have been tempted to ask her if they also used “honky” routinely. I’m willing to be the answer is yes. And what picture does that paint of young Mr. Martin?
News flash re cursive -
I am a college professor, frequenting a board for college professors. I almost fell out of my chair when I read that students are now coming to college unable to read or write in cursive because THEY NO LONGER TEACH IT in most public schools.
I only teach grad students, who don’t seem to have this problem, but I cannot believe we’ve dumbed down the K-12 curriculum so much that they aren’t teaching cursive. I guess they figure kids will use computers or print all the time. Fair enough - but, they won’t be able to read historical documents or even items such as their grandfather’s letters from VietNam. It’s sad, and perhaps yet another reason to home school if you can.
