I wonder if accountants and bookkeepers will be able to use red ink. Showing losses can he hard on the self esteem.

I’m surprised by this. Based on their budgets, Libs love red ink

Won’t green ink soon develop the same negative connotation red ink has now? And what about the differently color sighted (don’t you dare call them color blind) who won’t be able to tell the difference and won’t get any help from their seeing eye dogs about whether the big X is a critical red or nice helpful green?

I guess red ruins self esteem, I remember red marks on my school work; it was embarrassing, not to mention the horror facing me when I took my papers home, motivated me to do better.

This is silly PC nonsense. A color is just a color; its the tone of the comments that matter.

I once worked in a job involving lots of writing. Several senior people were involoved in the editing and fact checking process but the green pen was reserved exclusively for comments/critique from the office boss. Green was the dreaded color that nobody wanted to see. lol

What liberals, being the dumbest people on the planet ever, fail to realize is that when there is no reward for success and no consequences for failure then all this “no red ink” idiocy will never motivate someone to try. Liberals keep trying to find what motivates people but they don’t want success or consequences to be included.

Does it really matter what color the ink is? Because at the end of the day, an F is still a freakin F.

I had a high school English teacher who “ loved to see papers bleed.” Through some miracle, none of us were scarred for life.

At risk of sounding like a broken record...

As our government continues to embrace the suck emanating from those we fought for independence, this is just another example of why conservatives should take a more serious look at this

Nothing new.

The same arguments — red or green — were going on 40 years ago.

Even giving grades continues to come under fire.

Using colors to grade with is racist.

How long until purple and green ink is considered too harsh a color for these precious delicate flowers? When will the first imam issue a fatwa declaring purple is offensive to islam? I remember watching a police interrogation on youtube where police were grilling a guy while chargin him with a serious crime. His crime? He had a box cutter in his pocket at a shopping mall. He installs carpet.

It’s no wonder how massive immigration, nationalized health care, and extremely generous welfare has destroyed the once mightiest Brittish empire in a short 60 years.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Jones: Regrettably, we had to support the school’s decision to expel your son forever, even though the charges were totally bogus, because he wrote his reply to the charges in a color of ink other than purple. Have a nice day.
