You know, I've sat in the first lecture for a class and gotten the distinct impression that spending two hours every week sitting there for the next four months would be overwhelming. I reacted by dropping those classes and quickly signing up for something that seemed more tolerable.

I agree that the dehumanizing language is "most accessible" to people, but it's also WRONG. There is no value is promoting a false narrative. Middle America being stupid is also not an excuse. THE…
