Convinced that the normal standards of grammar are racist, the Rutgers University English Department is revising its grading policy for student essays. Under the new rules any written paper containing any one of the 26 letters of the alphabet will earn a "D" grade. If any of these letters spell out a legitimate word the paper will earn a "C" grade. If any of these words result in a coherent sentence the paper will earn a "B" grade. If a paper contains more than one coherent sentence it will earn an "A" grade.
The new standards have already been denounced by the Rutgers Students for Democratic Socialism as "rigid and oppressive. The notion that anyone should grade the expressed ideas of another person is tyrannical. The only just evaluation is that of the social collective. If the social collective is satisfied with the work the student should get an 'A.' If the social collective is not satisfied the student should be expelled. Anything less is unacceptable."
