Philip Tersian slams college students:

[T]he ignorance, laziness, sense of entitlement and lack of basic rhetorical skills are stunning.. . .

Our secondary schools, public and private, have not only substituted Maya Angelou for Robert Browning but guided their charges in perfecting the art of passing multiple-choice exams, not drafting essays. No wonder they cannot write, or organize their thoughts, or marshal an argument, or identify the decade in which the Civil War took place. No wonder they confuse Theodore Roosevelt with his cousin Franklin D.

I hope Maya Angelou doesn't see that.
