"Bret Chenkin, a social studies and English teacher at Mount Anthony Union High School, said he gave the quiz to his students several months ago. The quiz asked students to pick the proper words to complete sentences. One example: "I wish Bush would be (coherent, eschewed) for once during a speech, but there are theories that his everyday diction charms the below-average mind, hence insuring him Republican votes." "Coherent"is the right answer".What's the big deal? I think that's a perfect sentence in describing 'coherent' and it is true that a large majority of Republicans respond well to talk that's delivered at their below-average level of comprehension. Sounds like Mt. Anthony has a fine teacher there in Mr. Chenkin.
