Elizabeth, you did upset people more than one. That is why I commented. I had not even been reading this thread as it is nothing I would be interested in. Period.
Those women had never been mentioned in this thread prior to me pointing out that the term White Trash was offensive. If I am not mistaken those two women do not have anything to do with St. Mary's in Kansas.
Perhaps you should just apologize to the people on this board who were offended by your use of such a mean term.
Me personally? I am probably the toughest skinned person you will ever meet.

Well then I guess it is best in most all cases to home school. I find it strange when stay at home Traditional Catholic mothers do not teach at home. What on earth do they do all day long? It has been a struggle but I am so very glad that I teach my children. That is after all the mother's job.

It's the parent's job to educate their children. That may be homeschool or something else. Not every mother and father is able to or capable of homeschool.

good reason for real Catholic schools then!

though parents should and required to play a role in education-of the Fide, math, etc..my mother spent hours helping me after school and before with things I had trouble with,esp math....I was advanced in reading,etc......partially due to intellectual stimulation by my parents.....

FWIW:

It was not my impression that Elizabeth had any intention to put down poor people.

'White trash' is an expression that has been around for a long time, and has been used by a variety of people in multiple contexts.

It can sometimes be meant to suggest that there are people of low character and habits who are not necessarily members of any historically and socially disadvantaged ethnic minority group. Or it can be turned to an opposite use as well.

Example: Once when I lived in NYC, some Mexicans made fun of me for picking up after my dog, so I called them 'wetbacks'. They then labelled me 'white trash'.

In my opinion, people ought not to play into the hands of the power elites, the ADL, who want to make a crime out of 'hate' and 'hate speech'. As kids we used to say, "Sticks and stones, etc. . . .", and it was pretty commonsensical, down to earth thinking.

Elizabeth is not one to apologize, Dawn.

Hmmm. Is that only when you think she should apologize, or all the time?
