77. I think it will change the way we teach and has a lot of potential

According to my English professsor friends (I work in higher Ed), the essay has been dead for a while now.

These responses can be used to critically think about information and dig deeper to find sources (Oh, and also, I'm a librarian). I'd like to see the respond to the opposite of the OP's question - why should Donald Trump not be in jail? Then, look for the source materials and evaluate those.

I find this all very exciting! And if I are teaching writing (which be done) would use this as a tool to move beyond basics structure of writing a paper into deeper and more robust analysis of a topic.
