A blogger made the following argument: "Those complainers who want to destroy our beautiful campus to add a few ramps clearly do not care for the history of this place

We need to preserve what we have always had, or the next thing you know, we will be renaming the entire university!" Identify at least two fallacies present in this argument. Identify, define, and provide the example from the passage of each you choose.
What will be an ideal response?

The best answers will:
1. identify and define any of the following:
• Ad hominem ("Those complainers")
• Strawman ("destroy our beautiful campus," "clearly do not care")
• Ad verecundium ("the history of this place. We need to preserve what we have always had")
• Slippery slope ("or the next thing you know, we will be renaming the entire university!")
2. Students may also make a case that the entire argument is a red herring, diverting attention away from the real issue, the campus's non-compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
