After reading several articles on two of Tulsa Oklahoma's most popular new station. I finally found one that would have enough substance for me to be able to make an accurate evaluation. The article was titled “Oklahoma House Resurrects Bill to Arm School Teachers”. It wasn't very long and length like all the articles I found. I read over the article several times. After utilizing the five strategies for critical reading skim, reflect, read, evaluate, and express your judgment. I broke the article down to three Main fallacies. The three fallacies are clarity, evidence and neutrality. Here are my findings on the article.
First I must say the story wasn't very clear for someone who was just hearing about this topic. I would like to consider myself semi informed on this topic. The article didn't get any clear date as to when to expect a verdict. The only new information that was convey to us is. The Sapulpa Republican Representative is resurfacing a bill. The Bill allows specially trained teachers to carry guns in the classroom. The article even mentions why the bill is so important to get past at this time. The article claims that it is because of the tragedy in Newtown Connecticut. | |
Secondly the article was very shallow and had no solid information. The reporter explains that the representative resurrected the bill by separating the old bill. They do not tell you what the old bill was. The Author does not tell you what was removed or separated from the old bill. They do not notify us if any new information or details was added to the bill. The article is also missing what kind of training the teachers would receive. How the teachers will carry and secure the guns. Some positive features of the article are. The article stated that the bill pass the house both times. The first time the chairman declined to hear it.
