Writing, in an educational setting, is not essentially valuable bc of style or personal expression. It is fundamentally valuable bc it is the simplest possible method for students to externalize and reorganize a complicated thought pattern, which is necessary for any other complex task.

JB Pritzker flat out says the birthright "order" is unconstitutional and "we will not obey an unconstitutional order," attacks Trump for having the oligarchs in the front row. See, @schumer.senate.gov? It's not that hard!
