I have just put on my asbestos suit and helmet.  I read the resolution on
Teaching grammar and concurred heartily.  

I read the background and consider statement 3 a mixture of begging the
question and simple horse-hocky.  I have

had too many students ask me why their former teachers did not teach what I
taught.  I explained that some did

not know any better because they had never had a teacher who demanded that
they learn, some taught under

principals and school boards who confused political correctness and
language, some were individually victims

of the political correctness that labeled all speech and written products as
being of equal value with a firm belief

that their interpretation of "All men are created equal" required them to do
so.  I have refused to teach under such

asininity.
