The academic bias against subjectivity not only forces our students to write poorly ("It is believed…," instead of, "I believe…"), it deforms their thinking about themselves and their world. In a single stroke, we delude our students into believing that bad prose turns opinions into facts and we alienate them from their own inner lives.
