Critical Analysis of an essay by Tom Bevan

Tom Bevan explores the validity of Trump’s attention on US immigration in a post titled “ GOP Needs a Health Care Plan, Not an Immigration Plan .” Tom Devan is the co-founder of Realclear Media Group. Realclear Politics, the article’s publisher, states their goal is to “ present balanced, non-partisan analysis that empowers our readers to stay informed .” In addition to writing, Bevan oversees the company’s editorial staff and works as a guest analyst for other news sites. The article appears well researched, mostly unbiased, and provides substantial evidence to support the author’s claim that Trump’s focus on immigration is out of step with American priorities.   The publisher’s reputation is fair.  Mediabiasfactcheck.com  rate Realclear Politics as Right centered with a mixed rating for factual reporting due to the use of outside sources that have failed fact-checking tests.

From the outset, McGough uses hyperbolic and derogatory descriptors of Trump’s character and behavior. Phrases like “new extremes of crazy” and “deranged” set the tone for the intr...

A comment on "Original Critique Numero Dos" by Moira

If I understand your meaning correctly, it seems that you are advocating for the inclusion of LGBTQ friendly sex education not only in schools but also within the medical profession. I had not previously considered such training for doctors and nurses; however, it is clear that this is a necessity should we expect our medical practitioners to be able to disseminate accurate and appropriate information for their clients. Perhaps another consideration is an inclusive, evidence-based, broad curriculum sexuality program for all ages. If our children are to be well educated, they will also need proficient support from their parents and community, not to mention the need for adults to have access to age-appropriate sexuality education that benefits them as well as their children. Unfortunately, these programs will likely be challenging to implement. Although sexuality education is sparse in US schooling, access is generally approved of by parents. Contention lies in agreeing on what mate...
