"Some classes are taught aggressively; some are taught passively," he said. "My approach to teaching is to challenge the students, and they don't always take too kindly to that."
Levitt's imprecise command of the spoken language ("surrounded" by one armed person?) makes me further question how one "challenges" students in a college English class. Given the general lack of spelling and grammar skills shown by the college age group, does he place himself in mortal danger by being a spelling/grammar Nazi? Are there impassioned debates about whether Shakespeare really existed and wrote his works or was it Roger Bacon? Does the inability to develop a thesis statement in a composition make him confrontational with the freshmen? Many academics have no grasp of what true freedom really means when applied as envisioned by the founders.
And I don’t want to be surrounded by panty-wetting,tenured, Marxists. But if you go to college, odds are you will be.
