Excellent

Wherever there is likely to be an argument or confusion, this is the
right course. I teach English in the community college in Ottawa,
Canada, and while dispelling myths about I and me, and whether you can
start a sentence with because, I provide cautionary tales from my
workplace experience of being challenged by less literate but more
powerful supervisors on things where I was right, but where their vague
memories of English as it was taught to them collided with what I was
saying.

Walk away and re-write so that the issue disappears.
