According to Kenjus Watson, the organizer of the sit-in, one such correction was Professor Rust telling a student that she shouldn’t have capitalized ‘indigenous’ in her assignments. Kenjus claims this correction was ‘ideologically-motivated.’

I didn't know that the classification of adjectives from proper nouns was ideologically motivated.

Any standards must be based on cultural assumptions of what is right and wrong.

That cultural basis is “white”, Western, and Christian.

So any judgment of someone not conforming to rules or standards based on that culture is “racist”.

I understand their “reasoning”, but it’s based in the idea that the Western/Christian culture is not superior and should not dominate society.

Read articles written by black authors and see how many of them use the upper case “B”, when writing the word “black”. Unfortunately some F.R. members do it too.
