Its another fake story to get RWR wound up.

"Nowhere did the letter describe grammar as “racist.”"

The above implies that speaking proper discriminates against certain groups in society.

Speaking proper? The irony on a post about grammar.

Thats another made up story based on the Daily Caller report - that's one RW rag referencing another RW rag. A chain of rags.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rag

Rag (newspaper), a derogatory term for a sensationalist or tabloid newspaper.

Daily Caller, Washington Times et al are sensationalist and downright fake news sites.

They feed the RWR all the hate they need.

Continually searching for Outrage Buses to flag down and jump on will almost certainly shorten one's life? Don't do it.

Wait till three of these outrage buses come at once - a story about a muslim lesbian asylum seekers.

Or the hole in one - muslim lesbian asylum seekers on benefits seeking a sex change op. I think many on here would have a stroke.
