When reality doesn’t fit your worldview

Challenge Reality!

That is what Stephanie Coontz does in this piece for CNN.

She claims to be challenging the idea that graduating from high school, working hard and getting married before you have children will very likely keep you out of poverty.

To challenge this idea, first she separates the three things and lays out statistics for each of them. She never looks at the number when they are combined. She also whips out her best anecdotal evidence, forgetting that the plural of anecdote is “fact”.

You will not find it beyond belief that she teaches at the infamous Evergreen State College, widely renowned for its disdain for reality.
