Robert Fisk on the Death of English
Pretty much on point, one has to admit, whatever quibblings may obtain.
Here's the link, and it's worth reading alongside Henry Giroux's recent piece here and Orwell's classic "Politics and the English Language." Ya can't say we weren't warned. ("Doug, I don't even read blogs, and I tuned out after I read the first sentence here. Now I'm off to my Yale reunion.")
If reading any of these articles is too much for you, rest assured that I'll be putting up an edutainment-spiked, interactive PowerPoint that covers the main points with a bunch of awesomesauce cat photos--and you won't believe what happens next!!!!
