Okay. Let’s finally talk about what it *feels* like to have a “learning issue”.

I graduated HS in 1982. Before spell checking, I cannot remember submitting written work that was judged on what I said. Ever. It was always penmanship, spelling, punctuation and capitalization.

Try to imagine essentially never having a MS or HS teacher you can remember saying “Great Job.” or even “Good job.”, based on what you said, thought or created.

“You missed a minus sign.”

“It is ‘their’ not ‘there’.”

“You misunderstood the assignment.”

I mean every educator??

So when I see someone on CNN laughing about the little people who can’t spell, read or write...how do I put this...he’s laughing about me. My family. My grandfathers. My people. My PhD.

And I’m fine with it. I just want him to try to keep up with morons. Like me. It’s sincere.

I’d like to teach a lesson about folks who aren’t good at school. Who suck at math and can’t spell. Who have to fake reading when reading aloud in a room full of smug kids who laugh.

I never saw *anyone* stand up for my people. My tribe. Or me. We were all invisible. Until now.

So forgive me. But I am willing to match wits with my IQ superiors. I still can’t spell. I can’t keep Luxembourg & Belgium straight all the time. Hell, my left and right still confuse the heck out of me. But this insufferable schooled arrogance & contempt for others is a cancer.

No one has to take this shit from @donlemon and company. Not bible thumpers. Not Christians. Not working people. Not dropouts. Not farmers. Not conservatives. Not midwesterners. Not hillbillies.

And I’m ready. I’ll stand for those who get screwed. It’s what progressives do. Thx.
