Last week someone emailed me complaining that I “explained” my cartoons. Let’s call him “Chris.”
Well, my main issue is that not only do I often not understand them, it’s that you often admit in the commentary below your cartoons that you have grave doubts that your audience will understand them. I think there was one in which you said you didn’t even get it yourself. Other times, you go to great lengths to explain the cartoon and why you think it’s funny. Chris
Another man wrote me to complain about the cartoon above. (We’ll call him Anthony, since his name is Anthony.)
I saw this cartoon and decided immediately that you are out of touch with reality. For you information, even school districts in Kentucky, (not known as a bastion of education reform) require all students in high school to take Spanish as a second language. It’s obvious from your cartoon your are a RACIST AND BIGOT!
Spanish is spoken by thirty four million Americans in the U.S. and that number is growing. Only right wing, Bible thumping school districts, like those in Texas, would not teach the fastest growing second language in the U.S.!
A little education for you, since it’s apparent you failed your ESL!
Spanish was the language spoken by the first permanent European settlers in North America. It was brought to the territory of what is the contemporary U.S. in 1513 by Ponce de León. In 1565, the Spaniards, by way of Juan Ponce de Leon, founded St. Augustine, Florida, the oldest, continuously occupied European settlement in the continental U.S. …
Your Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh mentality is apparent!
Chris, meet Anthony.
