Sheffield University said the mathematician may have benefited from "colonial-era activity" as it looks to overhaul its physics curriculum

Sir Isaac Newton has been labelled as a potential beneficiary of “colonial-era activity” in draft plans to “decolonise” the engineering curriculum at Sheffield University.
Students learning about the mathematician and scientist’s three laws of motion, the core of modern physics, could see changes in their teaching to explain the “global origins and historical context” of his theories, documents suggest.
The plans form part of the engineering faculty’s efforts to “challenge long-standing conscious and unconscious biases” among students to tackle “Eurocentric” and “white saviour” approaches to science and maths, and promote “inclusive design”.
A leaked copy of the “draft inclusive curriculum development” plan at the Russell Group institution says that “much important engineering content and curriculum resources is based on maths developed in the 18/19th century."
It claims pioneering scientists including Paul Dirac, Pierre-Simon Laplace, Newton, and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz “could be considered as benefiting from colonial era activity”.
Newton, who lived until 1727, laid the foundations of modern science with his theory of gravity, in the seminal Principia, and theories on light, time, colour and calculus.
His equation for universal gravitation, written in 1666 when he was 23, helped overthrow more than a thousand years of Aristotelian thinking.
He was once voted Cambridge University student of all time by current students.

It is more Erf Friendly to reject modern thought...

They better stop using his racist physics.
Gravity is racist. It needs to be repealed.
This what Those-Who-Can’t-Compete do to get their revenge:
demonize anyone who’s accomplished anything notable ... which in most cases in History, means someone White
equal opportunity isn’t enough, those who have succeeded must be punished
and yet the most successful in our Society - university professors, business leaders, career politicians - sit back and say nothing and do nothing, because they’re all easily-intimidated wimps and The Leftist Mob knows it
so the attacks continue ... with Big Media cheerleading
this is how a Society falls apart ... by no one standing up for its values
Good thing there has been an abundance of renounced mathematicians, physicists, chemists, engineers from Africa. Oh wait....
Anyone who believes apples fall from trees is a racist White Supremacist.
But they like the conveniences that the nasty white racists provided, like smart phones, TV’s, airplanes, automobiles, etc.
And I suppose the CCP have decided to obliterate math and physics education for what their students learn. No?? How is that
Every POC needs to quit their job at NASA immediately. Stop profiting off evil Newton!
Guilty of...
...Being English during the Colonial Era.
Same could be generalized to European for the others.
Or, how about
...Doing Science While White
Dems are planning to cancel Newton’s laws.
Repeal the law of gravity!
Actually they want to RENOUNCE thinkers of Europe.
Newton was brilliant but a real jerk. He made up that apple story when it was really Robert Hooke who came up with the inverse square idea for gravity. He also sat on his optics book for 30 years to make sure Hooke was not around to dispute the credit. His ruthless disposition made sure he did everything he could to wipe out Hooke’s achievements including tossing out Hooke’s portrait . That is why we don’t know what Hooke looked like.
Anyone who believes in Gravity is a racist.
Gravity is another illegal law, created by an evil white guy.
Newton is guilty of creating more illegal and racist laws:
His three laws of motion, the core of modern physics, could see changes in their teaching to explain the “global origins and historical context” of his theories.
Students learning about the mathematician and scientist’s three laws of motion, the core of modern physics, could see changes in their teaching to explain the “global origins and historical context” of his theories.
Newton’s racism is still being forced on math students and those wanting to be engineers in colleges in America and around the racist world universities.
