http://www.nytimes.com/2002/06/02/education/02REGE.html The excerpts used in an English exam taken by New York's public-school high-school seniors have been “extensively altered,” etc. I don't think anybody needs to get very excited about this. It's not first-and-foremost an example of the sort muddle-headed thinking over-zealous liberals get up to, and that conservatives like to mock. It's mostly a mistake. It will be changed. (Slate: the wronged authors can sue. NYT: the policy has changed.) 01:00
