What happens when you send a teacher to Congress?

Mark Takano is a former high school teacher who now serves in the US Congress. A letter made its rounds in the House intended for Speaker John Boehner. The curt text says the process of immigration reform is problematic as is the proposed bill itself.

Takno did what he knows best and took out his red pen to help out the authors of the letter with some writing and grammar mistakes. Then he published his corrections to his Tumblr blog.
