The soft bigotry of low expectations

Over at Betsy's Page, she posts concerning the University of Oregon's plan to, as its president said, "reach all of the students who have demonstrated their competence to be in the university but for whom, because of cultural background, traditional techniques of teaching may not be as effective as others."

If any Oregon faculty are not sure how they can "reach all of the students, etc., " I suggest using either Plan "A" or Plan "B," and in rare instances, Plan "C+."

Meanwhile, remember President Bush's remark about "the soft bigotry of low expectations?"

Maybe they can get the "Rachel Corrie" pass/fail?

Or is that only for 'dozing' in class?

I slay me!
