Was briefly tempted to write “don’t @ me” in my course syllabus, in regard to a paper I think I’m going to assign that was written by a conservative jurist and legal scholar.

Now imagining students responding to the paper by saying “OP is a racist capitalist shill but go off I guess”

To be fair, though… the guy is arguing that engaging with literature doesn’t make you morally better. His own moral flaws, given the obvious evidence that he’s very well-read, only tend to reinforce his point.
