Re-write Mark Twain into SJW version of Huck Finn


FWIW

There were in fact Mexicans in the landing. A dear friend of mine, Eduardo Peniche', now deceased, was one of the guys. Ed was a poor Mexican kid who was in the US going to school and signed up for the Army.

After the war he stayed in and ended up in Viet Nam. After retiring he went to college and became a professor of Spanish, which is where I met him. He line was like this..."My time at war taught me about the failure of communications so Ive dedicated myself to correcting that. Paraphrased .

There was never a man that loved this country more.

RIP my old friend.

I'm referring to the New Mexico National Guard in the Philippines when Japan attacked. As a result, per capita, New Mexico was the hardest hit state when it came to casualties. A large portion were Mexican Americans.
 
You know, the high school that my daughter just graduated from is a very liberal school. They let the kids be themselves. They give them more freedoms than any other school in the state. They even let them eat and drink sodas in class. There are some strange characters in that school. But...it’s the best public high school in the state, and a very difficult school. Only the best and brightest in Caddo Parish go to that school. That said, they don’t pull any of this PC bullshit. My daughter read Huck Fin in English class last year as a Junior, and there was no revisionist BS at all. They also sneak in a prayer whenever they can during school events. There was one said last week before her graduation, AND the color guard posting the colors, were carding M1 Garands.
