He was barely literate and yet was passed through the university with passing grades because no one would admit that he didn’t belong in college.

You replied to the above articles saying — “He was barely literate and yet was passed through the university with passing grades because no one would admit that he didn’t belong in college.”

When I went through those articles I found nothing that indicated that he was illiterate (or barely so).

Now, I have seen that he was disturbed, a loner, not socially adept (very anti-social) — but — never illiterate.

In fact, I read one of his plays and he can write as well as many who post on Free Republic, if not better than some. He definitely did not want to speak to people. One of his teachers indicated that he was not just disturbed but *mean* (and I might add, perhaps “evil” in his deeds, for sure).

He refused to talk to people. Some of his dorm-mates, when first encountering him, thought he couldn’t speak well. But they found out later (at certain times) that he could speak, when he wanted to. He was not illiterate or not knowledgeable of the English language. For one, he was an English major.

So, to give people the impression he was illiterate is simply putting a false idea out to people that has *no basis* in fact (or in any reports that I have seen *anywhere* since the beginning of all this reporting).

Yep, and I have a feeling he isnt the only one in that situation at colleges in America.

not just “passing grades”

It was reported yesterday on tv that he was going to graduate with a 4.0.

So with all this talk about disturbing writings that frightened the bejeezus out of everyone it appears that SOMEONE was giving this whacko A’s on his papers.
