Category Archives: Political CorrectnessMamacita says: This topic has been on my mind lately (as usual), so I’m re-running this post from March of 2008.
Oh please, society, let us learn from the past, just a little bit?
“Francie thought it was the most beautiful church in Brooklyn. It was made of old gray stone and had twin spires [...]
Mamacita says: So many of the teachers I’ve spoken to lately are frustrated almost beyond words by their schools’ insistence that they keep disruptive, non-participatory, and often violent students in their classrooms, to the severe detriment of the other children.
All students have a right to be educated in their least restrictive environment. How can this [...]
Mamacita says: There is nothing on the planet as important as our kids, and we really need to keep aware of what’s going on in their world. Even when we don’t like to admit that these things are happening.
Oftimes, those things that are the hardest to believe, are the very things that are really happening.
Look [...]
Mamacita says: Does anyone else wonder why parents and teachers are spending so much time on topics such as red ink, dodgeball, and T-shirts, when it seems to me a much better topic for discussion might be, “Why are we allowing illiterate people to actually graduate from high school?”
Because I can’t think of a single [...]
Mamacita says: If I owned the biggest and best thesaurus in the universe, I still would not be able to find a word accurate enough to fully express my disgust and loathing of censorship, nor of the mentality of those who censor. Yesterday’s post touched on this topic – or perhaps, more accurately, [...]
Mamacita says: I loathe euphemisms and most political correctness. They cheapen the language.
Euphemisms and PC are a kind of censorship, and censorship is the action of a weak, fearful, and ignorant mind. Smart people understand that many words have more than one meaning. Weak and ignorant people can’t, and, unfortunately, weak and ignorant people seem [...]
Mamacita says: Caroline Lake Quiner Ingalls knew how to raise her children so that they would know how to behave themselves properly no matter where they might find themselves.
In Little Town on the Prairie, a teen-aged Laura is invited to a party. She had gone, years ago, to a little girls’ party, [...]
Mamacita says: I don’t think there are any words coined yet that would adequately describe the complete and total loathing I have for simplified, edited versions of good books.
I’ve heard quadrillions of elementary teachers argue that small children learn best when there are few challenges, but I have to disagree with that, too. How condescending!
I [...]
Mamacita says: Laura Ingalls Wilder’s wonderful semi-autobiographical Little House series contains some of my very favorite titles of all time. If you don’t have the complete set in your home, TELL Santa Claus to bring it, and no two ways about it. Every home needs these books. Our society needs these stories [...]
Mamacita says: What’s that? STUPIDITY? How intensely politically incorrect!
Gotta love something that’s politically incorrect! Well, I do, anyway. Euphemisms are for the weak. Euphemisms cheapen our language, and draw our attention away from important things.
1. Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe. — Albert [...]
