Tom Rank surveys media coverage of English. This term:--why Michael Gove must try harder ... I want to take on the lowest-common-denominator ethos, the 'let's not be too demanding', 'all this smacks of targets', 'the poor dears can't manage it', 'the idea of a canon is outmoded', 'it's all on the internet anyway' culture which is anti-knowledge, anti-aspiration and antithetical to human flourishing. Instead, I want a culture in which the more you read, the more you are celebrated. (Michael Gove, Daily Telegraph, 1 April 2011)
