- telemachos 17y agoAnd you know what's really sad about how poorly argued the editorial is? The author is a teacher of Rhetoric and History and based on her description of her students, I bet she teaches freshman composition or the like. (If that doesn't ring any bells, many colleges require incoming students - all or nearly all - to take a semester or a year of critical reading and writing courses in their first year. It's basically remedial education by another name.)
