Red Markers "Too Harsh" Schools Switch to Purple

Is there no idiocy that the PC brigade won't stoop to embrace ?

Still, sometimes I have to laugh. They're better than some of the comedians on TV.

Yep, they've yet to embrace this:

Kids are growing up too soft. Red is not to harsh, its be used for years.

Poor kids.

Last year on a spelling test (in Kindergarten) my daughter came home with red marks all over the test because her letters were not spaced correctly. There was no red mark or correction on the word 'bog' which was supposed to be 'dog' or 'dat' which was supposed to be 'bat'. Granted my daughter IS dyslexic but the teacher was not aware of that at the time. I could care less about the teachers using red, that's the LEAST of our worries! On a spelling test I would think the teacher should focus on how a child spelled the words, not on if their space between letters was too much or too little and certainly not on what color pen they are going to use for corrections!

As for the color red, aren't followers of Kabbalah supposed to wear a red bracelet at all times so that if they begin to feel angry the thought is they look at the red and it LESSENS the anger?
