Hi, hope your day is treating you right! Last week, I glanced at my Facebook feed and noticed a post from a colleague. What struck me about the post is that it came from a fellow educator. Her post:
If you are going to be president you should at least know how to spell. FB Post 07.29.16
…in response to Drumpf’s (supposedly his actual family name) Tweet:
Crooked Hillary Clinton made up facts about me, and “forgot” to mention the many problems of our country, in her very average scream!

I paraphrased her words, but you get the point. Here’s my response:
Spelling is the least of our problems. He is a racist, misogynist, anti-Semitic, liar, and a threat to national security. T. Lanette FB Post, 07.29.16
If his spelling was the only issue, it might be a tight presidential race. Instead, for me, his racist, sexist, misogynist, and anti-Semitic views are more important than his spelling. In fact, they may be the deciding factor whether I stay in the U.S. or become an expatriate (I am looking at France, Canada, and Iceland). Just disappointed that a colleague, who has students in the Drumpf’s target groups, would focus on his spelling instead of focusing on the true issues.
