A
law school student in Florida wrote a paper espousing an unpopular belief; that
our original constitution, when it said “We the people…”, only meant white
people. From there, the paper went on to describe how everything should
be now, based on that interpretation. Apparently, the paper won an award,
not because it was right, but because it was well written. There is
outrage that a paper with that premise could win an award, even if it got a
good grade. An interesting debate: Should a person be recognized for
writing something disagreeable if they do a good job writing it? So many
threads to pull on there.
