I would be happy to organize such a session if MRDS, EDAM, or
some other
group wants to sponsor it for a future Kalamazoo.
My personal favorite ghastly example was in an intro to
literature textbook
under consideration for a freshman course. Published in 1999,
it insisted
that no plays before Shakespeare had any actual dramatic value
and were
worth considering only as historical curiosities.
