I speak American, duh!

I'm so incredibly pissed! The university newspaper "The DA" printed an op-ed piece that annoys me to the point of wanting to really give a good shaking to the stupid chick who wrote it. The title is "Foreign Language Requirement Unnecessary" by Martina Fetzer. In this article, she not only says why studying a foreign language is totally unnecessary, in her opinion (fucking idiotic English major!!grrr), but also why WVU teaches it unfairly, why it's a big waste of time, how it inspires racism, how it's unfair if foreigners come here and can't speak English and then we have to learn another language, and how if people are not "enthusiastic" about taking these classes, they should not be requirements. I MUST write a rebuttal--there is just no way around it. I mean, what an imbecile! Has she never poked her head out of Stansbury Hall (where Dept. of English is located) to look at the rest of the world?? Besides, if the university administration decided that students only had to take classes they "liked" nobody would take anything challenging at all or anything even remotely outside their major. What a lovely group of narrow-minded zombies we would be graduating every year in that scenario! I'm really surprised, honestly. I'm surprised someone can say something with perfect grammar and punctuation and look like such an ignorant, racist redneck.
