Increasing Number Of Ivy League Students Can’t Even Read, So Let’s Stop Calling Them ‘Elite’

When a Harvard student needs ChatGPT to help with reading a novel, it’s clear that America’s high schools aren’t teaching students how to read.

Assistant Director for Humanities and Social Sciences Support Margaret Rennix said this student came to her and told her about using AI to translate Anthony Burgess’s A Clockwork Orange into easier language. Rennix told The Atlantic that the student was confused by what the student called “Old English” in the 1962 novel.

HANNAFORD: Ottawa’s six stealth attacks on your freedom of speech

There is the meeting that takes place before the President arrives, when all is as it usually is between world leaders of the same broad ideological hue: convivial open sessions, chummy photo-ops, urgent side-conferences.

Then there is what happens after he gets there, and the desperate scramble to reconcile the chaos that ensues with the serene normalcy that went before: to insist that the torrent of lunacies foaming out of the President’s mouth from the moment of his arrival, making hash of everything the other conferees had agreed upon – not to mention decades of settled international law – were in fact in perfect harmony with the rest.
