Toxic rhetoric challenged the foundational purposes of teaching writing and rhetoric, such as ethical argumentation and critical thinking. Teachers' narratives, case studies, and reflections bring to light the ruptures, resistance, and resilience of teaching amid the extreme polarization of partisan politics, distrust of science, and increased hate speech, among other issues associated with toxic rhetoric. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReaders will learn from teachers who were challenged to cope with toxic rhetoric, using both rhetorical and extra-disciplinary lenses.
