Apparently, the way for minority students to flourish as writers is to dismiss any criticism of their prose, and any attempt to improve it, as a racially motivated “microaggression” and an “oppressive practice,” and thus proof of “an inherently racist society.”
That sort of thing is not acceptable in my classes. All answers must be in complete sentences, and a sentence is not complete without an end stop. I haven’t been accused of racism in the matter, and perhaps a third of my students are minorities and immigrants.
This sort of thing isn’t acceptable in the market place where the consumer of their product or future boss can say,
“No, I do not accept this shoddiness.”
Whoever is paying the bill here to mis-educate these students is getting ripped off.
“..minority students to flourish as writers is to dismiss any criticism of their prose.”
Well there’s always the other option of moving to some other place like Liberia.
Of course that wouldn’t help the Liberal Progressive race to the bottom………
So, what’s the difference between the racist nonsense espoused by the loony tunes Dr Caprice Hollins in Seattle and the crap being preached by so-called Canadian “deep thinkers” espousing their racist gospel to our so-called First Nations?
What did you expect after Affirmative-action was (mostly) removed as a crutch for “the black community” ? If the colleges are losing their arbitrary ratios of black students, did you NOT expect our fine Education Elites to use all means possible to rebalance “their” equation of equality. Evidently, in order for Black Students to Matter … all “Eurocentric” modalities in education have to be removed. What a JOKE. What a shortcut to societal degeneration.
And If you don’t believe this is one of the primary goals of The Common Core … then you just aren’t paying attention.
I cannot WAIT till ALL Education becomes 100% merit based. Where everyone will be educated online. And nobody will be allowed matriculation to the next higher grade level until they have mastery of the current level. Think of it like a video game, where ONLY ones skills (and perhaps knowledge of “tips and tricks”) allows the gamer movement to the next level. Now THERE is a concept well-understood by the dope-smoking, video-gamer, couch surfing student slacker.
Me resume – I dun gud collidge at gimme da job ore yew racist.
That should get a well-paying job!
shucks. this is just the sjw tactic to prevent their ‘constituents’ cultural appropriation of the English language.
make it up as you go, all is acceptable but toe the line, all whites are racist. did I leave anything out?
also, the advances into the taxi market by the uber juggernaut is more proof of the coming end times. the business plan consists of introducing a means of bypassing the ‘restrictive’ regulations of the past 4 decades by utilizing a brand spankin’ new technology. I wanna do what I wanna do. capitalists like kevin O’Leary are surely creaming their pants over this one.
anybody know the licensing regulations that allow driverless vehicles? can I cobble together some sort of autonomous
‘navigational’ system that randomly steers here there and everywhere and perform an experiment to study the conditions how collisions happen? all in the interests of accident *prevention* of course.
anything goes as long as the technology gods have provided the means. sweep aside all regulation. capitalism first, foremost and exclusively. money talks and it says “me me me me”.
the marketing of this multiheaded beast is an excellent study in the methods and mechanics of propaganda.
welcome to the end times for sure. more and more indicators popping up in the most surprising and interesting places.
I think that vote reform should take the route of written English vote slips(no pictures no party symbols) and if a voter is English illiterate they won’t be able to recognize who their Democrat paymaster wants them to vote for.
Precisely.
What is being advocated, and practised, is fraud pure and simple. Students are not being taught what they have paid to be taught.
