Welcome to English Teacher Weekly—your source for what’s worthwhile from the worlds of literature, education, Christian thought, and the humanities. The main service I provide here at ETW is careful curation. It’s anti-algorithm work.

Far better to operate on a human scale, with its own eccentricities and whims.

I imagine they would refer to him as a “RINO” as they do so many of our staunchly conservative neighbors.
