@venison88 @reevesman Yes, and if it had been a true democracy, the south would have won by sheer numbers. But thankfully they didn’t.
@venison88 @reevesman In some cases, it took the national guard going in and enforcing integration.
@venison88 @reevesman The majority of the people living in the south, for example, were dead set against integration.

@dogsandwich @Mexi77 that includes being literate.
@dogsandwich @Mexi77 The teaching establishment shares some blame, but everyone should teach themselves the skills they need, and
@matt02392 Aw man, I would love to be there.
@dogsandwich @mektastic @Mexi77 But I think that if they weren’t taught properly, they should take the time to learn.
@dogsandwich @mektastic @Mexi77 Yes they should be taught properly in school.
