She is a hard case. Silence is golden. Or, if you prefer, Urban Studies are trash. This evil-tempered outburst was provoked by the excerpt reprinted below. It is the work of the mind of one Raye G. Richardson, associate professor of Urban Studies at San Francisco State.
Literacy is the ability, in language , to make sense and to detect nonsense.
It is the ability to devise understanding and reach judgment in a series of connected, coherent statements. Consider the benighted blatherers whose writings we regularly display, the educationists and apparatchiks who bleat about transhumanistic learning experiences that may be identified as operational facets of noncognitive, mode enhancement. They can all read and write. They can spell even hard words like epistemological and heteronymous . Many of them can often punctuate.
