Maberry letter: Alternative facts

Every student in the world should thank Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway today.

She stated on “Meet The Press” that White House press secretary Sean Spicer gave “alternative facts” in response to media estimates of the inauguration crowd size.

So take heart students, you can tell your instructors you didn’t answer a test question incorrectly, you just presented an “alternative fact.”

Howard L. Maberry, Emmett
