Return of the Penguins

These articles are interesting, and in "Censoring Ourselves" and "Subjectivity in the Tutorial," two points are brought up that I, and other tutors, often deal with. The question can often be how do I address this or how do I say this in such a way or how can I let them write that when he or she is totally wrong. Having been a tutor for two and a half years now, I've had several experiences where I ask these questions when reading a student's paper. I have managed to keep my opinion out of students' papers, something that can truly be taxing at times. The dilemma that would be rough is if a student was blatantly sexist or racist in the paper. I've never dealt with this situation personally, and if I did, it probably would be the roughest tutorial ever. I would be as tactful as I could, but unlike in "Censoring," I don't think I could let a student walk to an English class with a paper like that. Let's just hope that this is one of those theoretical situations that we never have to deal with.
