You can't compare 'signing a model release' to writing. Come on!



The reference was that they couldn't sign a petition ... not whether they could compose an essay.

They sign away their rights every day ... suffering to suffrage ... they'll sign ...



I may be wrong about this, but I believe in most states you can still "make your mark" with an "X" on a contract, or a petition, if you're illiterate. A vestige of the 19th century nobody ever removed from the books.

Of course these days, the schools are churning out thousands of functional illiterates each year who can do no more than sign their name in a feel-good effort to disguise said illiteracy.
