Let's talk about red ink

I read in CCN.com that there are states now trying to stop teachers using red ink to grade papers. This is suppose to be demeaning to students. Teachers should use a more subtle color like purple as an example.
Give me a break!!! Who is in control here? The student or the teacher?
I do believe that the American is getting a little too sensitive about simple things. In all actuality, a color is a color. Red ink has been used by the teacher for many years and probably longer than the complainers have been alive.
If the student doesn't like the red ink then that student needs to get over it!! And so should the parent. The red ink is not demeaning but instructive. It points out the errors made by the student or even makes a point of letting the student know what can be done to solve the error. They just needed something to whine about I guess.

And now you have my opinion for what little it counts.
