In response to the only email I could find, an email to The New Republic, I got an automatic response. To sum it up, it said that they would probably not get back to me and my email would be discarded, but thanks for showing an interest in the magazine. That is why I will only be posting my original email in this post:
Dear John McWhorter at The New Republic,
I am a student at Roncalli High School in an AP Language and Composition class. For a blog assignment, we were assigned an op ed writer to analyze the writings of and reflect on them. For a specific blog, we were assigned to read a recent article and state the claim sentence, the concession, three support points to the writer's claim, and a list of examples used by the writer. I also had to state whether I agreed or disagreed with the article's argument. For this assignment, I used your articled named "Which Languages Should Liberal Arts Be About in 2010?" The reason for this email is to ask for related issues to this article that I blogged about. I would love to learn more and hear about issues that relate. I would also like to know what articles you recommend me reading of yours. Thank you for your time, and I love reading your articles and opinions.
