An Apology

10/28/2018

1 Comment

 
To any and all who may have read "The Lizard King" post:

I apologize (profusely) for my insensitivity in using the phrase "short bus" regarding Trump.  It is pejorative and disrespects those who have special needs.  Implying that Trump should be grouped with those people is a double insult and I sincerely apologize for using the phrase.  It was glib and callous on my part and, particularly as an educator, I should know better (the Lovely Carol Marie pointed it out to me immediately --- and several other readers have made note of it and rightly so).

I will expunge the phrase from the blog but that makes no difference.  It was there.  It was stupid, it was crass, it was wrong.  I apologize.

That's a model of a good, sincere, apology. None of that "sorry to anyone I may have offended by..." bullshit. We can all tell you mean it.
