How my relationship with the childrens father began the night before Columbine and ended the night Trump beat Clinton.
My grandfather’s first language was Ukrainian. He and his brothers were all beaten if they tried to speak to each other in Ukrainian in their Canadian school. They knew no English and the teacher knew no Ukrainian. They were given no special treatment. The brothers and two sisters made a fourth of the school house student body, which held all grades. This was where and how they learned English.
