"So What Do We Do Now?": Necessary Directionality as the Writing Teacher's Response to Racist, Sexist, Homophobic Papers.
Rothgery, David
College Composition and Communication, v44 n2 p241-47 May 1993
Considers how writing teachers, when faced with student writing that betrays sexist, racist, or homophobic sentiments, should respond. Addresses the difficulty of asserting moral imperatives in the light of current antifoundationalist theory. Argues for a reliance on a "necessary directionality" toward comprehensive moral truths.
