I'd welcome that sort of discussion from my students. I'm talking about the basic difference between the news section and the editorial section of the newspaper. This is an artificial distinction fraught with politics to be sure, but my students lacked the basic literacy required to "pick an editorial/letter to the editor/opinion piece from the editorial section of the newspaper." Some of my students didn't even know what that meant or how to do that.
