Description
-
In "Beyond P.C," Kurt Heinzelman responds to Maxine Hairston's 16 November 1991 commentary. He accuses her of deceptive rhetoric; in calling Racism and Sexism the "sole" book in the proposed E 306 syllabus, she omitted mention of the accompanying course packet of countering opinions, as well as the required purchase of Handbook for Writers, authored by Hairston and Ruszkiewiscz . Heinzelman claims Hairston and Ruskiewiscz's text is just as biased as the one they protest against.
On 16 November, in response to Heinzelman, Hinkson writes to support Hairston. He differentiates between Racism and Sexism and Handbook for Writers, saying no one could possibly find Handbook for Writers a biased text. He further asserts that Racism and Sexism doesn't teach writing in any way.
