Although Gatto uses a significant amount of facts throughout the essay, they do not come from any credible source nor are they cited by any. An example of a fact but not cited is: “George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln? Someone taught them, sure, but they were not the product of a school system, and none of them ever “graduated” from a secondary school.” (Cat 273). Gatto is using a fact that is highly informative. However, because it is not cited by any kind of credible source, the public may not consider it valid information or take it into consideration. To give the essay even better credibility, Gatto should cite all the factual information available to him
