School fires employee for correcting spelling error
The coming dark age: A school has fired the person running its twitter account for correcting the spelling in one of their student’s tweets.
Obviously we do not know the whole story. It does appear, however, that the Maryland school couldn’t tolerate the idea of an adult teaching a student how to spell.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Ohh shit! The My Feelings Nazi’s had to get rid of the sole grammar nazi.
Feelings come first now I guess….LOL
Insomnius: I ask people to try to keep the language civil. I am also going to demand that we avoid cuss words. The rest of the culture might be crashing into gross savagery, but I’d like to keep Behind the Black civil and clean, if possible.
So, watch your language!
I have been an offender of late & will endeavor to keep a grip on my keyboard, going forward.
It looks like we have identified a school where readin’, rightin’, and ‘rithmatic ain’t taught. So much for them four Rs of educashun.
Somewhere there was failure to communicate, and I think it was in the communication of the purpose of schooling.

“What we’ve got here is failure to communicate. Some men you just can’t reach, so you get what we had here last week, which is just the way he wants it. Well, he gets it. I don’t like it any more than you men.”
The school’s principal is one of those men you just can’t reach, so we got the misspelling and the firing that we had there last week, which is just the way the principal wants it. Well, he got it. I don’t like it any more than you readers.
I hope that Katie Nash at least got a participation trophy, so that she wouldn’t feel too bad about losing. Her job, I mean.
Remember: the students being poorly taught this generation are the ones who will be running this country for the next two generations.
Weep for the future.
Sorry about that didn’t mean to offend anyone!
I just thought it was at the bottom line of all living organisms.
Heh, after some past post typos / absent minded spelling mistakes on my part, I need to chuckle that no one thought it necessary to correct me (well, almost no one). That said, it appears that we are, now, not merely unable to learn from the past (past mistakes), but no longer even allowed to learn from the present.
The new three RRRRRRS of A liberal edumacation:
Racism, recycling, reproduction…
I thought RRRRRRs were only taught on September 19!
