35 years ago, Sen. Daniel Patrick Monaghan; a Democrat, no less, saw this coming and called it “The dumbing down of America.” He was jeered and poo-poohed and dubbed Daniel MOAN-ahan. But he was right, and it seems to worsen every day.
Just when you thought you had heard of every absurd aniti-White racist thing they could come up with, there’s another asoa inoue face.
Instead, they are now declaring learning to be racist.

“University of Washington Declares Proper Grammar Is Racist”
While not racist will the same rule apply to whites who speak non standard english, like Southerners with a backwoods drawl, or people with a thick Brooklyn accent? Will liberals still make fun of them and call them stupid?
An analysis of this issued must begin by determining if “proper grammar” is a better means of communicating than some other grammar.
If “proper grammar” is indeed a better means of communicating then teaching it versus some other grammar is simply doing what’s best for students.
I expect our educators to do what’s best for students at all times.
If English is racist, so are my tennis shoes.
Memo
To: HR
re: University of Washington students
Effective immediately, do not offer employment full time or as an intern to a graduate or student from the University of Washington
Who teaches the teachers?
An attempt to return to eubonics — American black English regarded as a language in its own right rather than as a dialect of standard English. The goal then was to require teachers to take courses in eubonics so they could teach it to white students. Any objection was, of course, racist.
“While overt racism is usually easily identified, more elusive are microaggressions, forms of degradation which manifest on a subconscious and casual level.”
WTH? Yeah, they’re “elusive” because they aren’t factual! Subconsciously we are racist for teaching the English language, and the proper grammar thereof, at a learning institution? They really have gone off the deep end.
Romans 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.
Math, engineering, chemistry, and medicine are also racist because Africa do very poorly in these majors.
Both of my grammars died years ago.
Somebody inform this moron that without proper grammar, we would never be able to understand emails from Nigerian princes wanting money. Who’s the racist now?
Every single day, the insanity of liberalism raises it’s ugly head.
How much longer does America tolerate this crap?
Aw, sit man! That sit be wrong! Jaknow?
Employers, a suggestion.
(I’m retired.)
Take note of the different universities that are condoning the cry of “racism” concerning the major language of business in America.
Any of those graduates of those universities should be able to pass a 4th grade English language test question. Insert one into your employment candidate’s employment examination. Any backwash about the test question other than answering the question disqualifies them, by their own words.
Didn’t this used to be called Ebonics?
