What's racist in pointing out that Oklahoma is giving their students a

knee jerk up to the keyboard and start typing?

I wonder how the students in New York, DC or LA do in this test.
I have been hearing this story for 50 years. "US Americans" always
seem to suck on the citizenship test.

Which could be a reason for the insanity we're seeing from our
edumacated population. Critical thinking skills seem to be heading
the same direction as civic awareness.

I've seen several street interviews who question passersby about things like
geography. Some of their answers to simple questions are hilarious! And,
these were mostly adults.

FYI, it's "WE Americans" unless you were talking about U. S. American's vs.
Americans north or south of the border. Sorry, I'll put my grammer hat back
in the corner.

No I meant U.S. Americans, sorry about the lapse in punctuation Miss
Plume ;-)
I did think Miss SC was correct when she used that appelation.



Heh... I've been told to not do this sort of thing..

Ever been to Oklahoma?

I have, but not for many years.

One of my newspaper buddies was offered a hell of a promotion to take a
job with the Tulsa paper, and I used to visit him a couple times a year.
It was a long drive, and other than to catch up with my buddy, not
worth it. Backwards would have been a kind way to describe it...it was
sort of the South Carolina of the southwest. Apparently it still is.

Friend lasted about years there, and then hopped over to the St. Louis
P-D. Much more better in those days.

Can we include Oklahoma in Texas' succession?

I take that you intended to say "secession," instead of "succession"?
Considering the general undercurrent of discontent with the political
propaganda in this group, though, today's word for you is "cessation."

Gee, thanks for the spelling correction. Do you have anything to add
to the article?

Are you pleased that Oklahoma is doing such a poor job of educating
students? What do you suppose the percentage of high school graduates
can spell secession or succession in Oklahoma?

They don't know who the first president of the United States is but
they voted more emphatically for GW Bush than any other state?

Care to treat us to a lesson in correlation and causation?

Care to treat us to anything but petulant drivel???

Your funny quip about me graduating in Oklahoma didn't answer any of
my questions.

This feels just like the time you queried me about my insurance
coverage for my employees but then never responded with anything
resembling intelligence.

Are you just a bunch of hi falutin' werds with no basic edumacation?

Well, I don't know, JPS. I'm at peace with myself.

BTW, do your employees recieve their income from "the corporation"?
