A Message From the Vice Principal

Why Troubling News:

The reasons why this is troubling all touch on the typical issues with opinion pieces; they're susceptible to ad hominem attacks and seem more focused on attacking the person and not the policy- "(Harris) did not try to ameliorate her voice's nasal quality" and comparing her to an "HR Administrator". While perhaps accurate or amusing, one would only make this comparison if one was sure their audience believed it to be true. Nothing about this piece seems addressed to a neutral audience or like it's making much of a case for anything in particular- Kamala Harris sounds like a schoolmarm, you think she sounds like the worst teacher you had growing up, so she must be- and not to inform or persuade.
