This seems to be a theme with this kind of article. A headline and lead proclaiming some school has done something outrageous, such as for example telling people to stop using terms like "white paper" or "submit" because they're supposedly offensive. It details some of the most outrageous parts of it, but you get the strong impression there's a lot they're leaving out. They never, ever have any kind of sources or hyperlinks to let you see the documents for yourself. If you do manage to find them on your own, you find some critical context (in this example, that the list of offensive words was not a school policy, but a fully optional document created by the IT department) that undermines the point the article was making -- a point they strongly imply, but never quite state, so it's not technically lying, you see. |
