The blond "boy" who was playing hooky and, later, licking a lollypop at the convention. What was up with that? And why was he at the convention in the first place?

On a separate subject w/o starting a new post to rant. Why did parents (fathers) want their daughters to be illiterate in the olden days?
Just doesn't make any sense to me. And its not just because I grew up in a time where girls could read and write. Usually better than me (or is it 'I'?)...see.
Also, racism and bigotry. Why did (and even here in the 21st century, still) parents pass down racism? And the parents were/ are religious - it baffles the mind -
How did I get on this rant
rant done...til next time

Knowledge is power. Girls were not educated to "enslave" us. It is all about control. If we are educated then we won't necessarily want to be chained to a kitchen and popping out babies. Status Que can be hard to stand up to. I'm thankful that times changed.
I think he was either supposed to be slow. Or it was a play at the people from a young age are like men. They are older from a young age.
shareIt is a one-room school house. No other place of public education available in town. Probably most of the inhabitants had no formal education before it opened. So, everyone who had an interest in learning went -- if they were old enough, or young enough, to get there. In the 1920's, my mom went to such a school in a farming community in Minnesota. She shared the classroom with adults and kids her own age and younger (the ones, unlike her brothers, who didn't play hooky or get kicked out for hiding a snake in the teacher's desk).

Are you sure we're talking about the same person? I don't think he was 50.

peopled looked older in that age even when they were youngsters. An 18 year old looked more like a 30 year old today. Go back further in years and you'll notice the same. Lot of stress when you go thru the depression and world wars.
