Oxford University has revealed plans to “decolonise” its maths and science degrees and will allow students of any subject who have been affected by the Black Lives Matter furore to seek lenient marking. In a letter to the student union, Louise Richardson, vice-chancellor, said that the mathematical, physical and life sciences division had been awarded a grant to develop teaching resources that supported the diversification of its curriculums, describing it as “an area that is frequently overlooked”. She added: “Many departments in social sciences have begun work on making their curriculum more inclusive and adding diverse voices to it. This includes steps such as integrating race and gender questions into topics, embedding teaching on colonialism and empire into courses, changing reading lists to ensure substantial

I can’t wait to fly in an aircraft designed by some ‘woke’ engineer
In a real job, if you can’t do the math, you can’t do the math, and everyone around you will know it. Set up for failure.
“I can’t wait to fly in an aircraft designed by some ‘woke’ engineer”
Or a doctor who can’t calculate a dosage based on body weight, age and condition.
Dear heavens.
Good thing traitor Mitchy Poo and his fellow Gope
dont have a say .
Don’t worry. There will still be people that will keep things going. What will happen is that these “enlightened” members of society will make sure that the scientists will never stray from group think.
They already get points added to their test scores. They already get admitted free, while Whiteys pay full tuition. They already get promoted while failing. They already get jobs for which they are not qualified, with Whitey doing the actual work so the company doesn’t fall apart. (Whitey is expendable, and can be fired if someone sees his hand in the configuration of the “White Power Symbol.”)
The bigotry of low expectations.
When did math become maths?
Who is John Galt?

“Maths” is British usage.

10 years ago would you have believed that gay marriage would be legal and it would be illegal to discriminate against transgendered people in hiring? In 10 years it is likely that our consumption decisions will be regulated based on diversity. You will have to go to a doctor who is a minority, or LBGTQ, because otherwise they might have no business, because customers suspect they only got their degrees (at least in part) because of affirmative grading action, not merit. So customers will be forced to use their services whether they want to or not. You will be forced to watch their movies (Brokeback Mountain and White Men Can’t Jump, e.g.), listen to their music, watch them play sports, buy the things they make, because otherwise they will not be superior to straight whites. You will have to watch the WNBA and LPGA whether you want to or not. Maybe this is all great news, but don’t be surprised when it happens. I realize these views disqualify me for employment for the rest of my life, but... I’m retired ;) But in 10 years it won’t be enough to shut people out of employment for being “racist”, i.e. saying things that are uncomfortable but true. In 10 years people will be put in re-education camps for what I just said. Orwell was early but correct.
What could possibly go wrong?
No more Rhodes Scholars.
This is a war on White people. The corporations, financial institutions, news media and governments are against us. They spout the same rhetoric every day. They are humiliating us now, they will kill us later. There are sinister forces at work behind the scenes in my opinion.
If you are considering some “higher learning” may as well scratch this school off your list. Hard to understand how the “black lives matter” issue should ever enter into a college curriculum. No use spending big money on books for this course when you could probably pack all that you need into a comic book.
“When did math become maths?”
Didn’t you get the memo?
We left it in the boot of your motorcar?
Math and physics are racist.
Gravity is a racist law. Minorities and women hurt worst of all!

I didn’t see it. Maybe it’s next to the air cleaner under the bonnet. :)
