Carrie M. Santo-Thomas writes that she was interviewed by Rose Horowitch, an editor for The Atlantic, for an article that explores the problem of reading stamina among college students. Ms. Santo-Thomas challenges some of the assumptions of that article, assumptions that imply that high school curricula are lowering their standards to accommodate poor readers. Is it the forced reading of “canonical classics” written by very old, very white, men, or is it a lack of reading stamina on the part of Gen Z? It’s all laid out in her article, “The Atlantic Did Me Dirty.”
