“White language supremacy” is the problem, and destroying grading standards is the solution, at least according to one Arizona State University English professor.
Asao B. Inoue is a professor of Rhetoric & Composition at ASU and he is urging his fellow (xello?) teachers to fight “white language supremacy” by implementing “labor-based grading” which “redistributes power in ways that allow for more diverse habits of language to circulate.”
The problem is this: “White language supremacy in writing classrooms is due to the uneven and diverse linguistic legacies that everyone inherits, and the racialized white discourses that are used as standards, which give privilege to those students who embody those habits of white language already.”
In other words, when kids are taught proper English they forget all the vernacular they learned growing up and then we’ll lose all our cherished diversity and everybody will die of injustice, The End.
Or maybe Inoue is saying people of color just can’t be expected to learn proper English.
Tell that to James Earl Jones, Mr. Inoue.
I’d also add that a professor of Rhetoric & Composition ought to avoid writing sentences like this one from his unicorn-decorated Twitter profile: “Our languaging changes as we do. Doing this kind of conventioning work might cultivate practices in students that ask them to be lifelong languagelings, ones who learn about their conventioning throughout their lives.”
Give me an F, please, teacher.
To fight the power, Inoue recommends labor-based grading, which “structurally changes everyone’s relationship to dominant standards of English that come from elite, masculine, heteronormative, ableist, white racial groups of speakers.”
That’s according to a presentation he recently gave on the subject, as seen by The College Fix.

The result would be the same. Usually the best students work the hardest. Professor is a moron.
Pidgin Engrish be da bomb, yo. It’s racist to talk good English.
It would be worth it to permanently close the university just to get rid of this one idiot.
***when kids are taught proper English they forget all the vernacular they learned growing up***
Would YOU want a doctor to write out a prescription for medicine in Ebonics, and have a pharmacist who does not understand it fill that prescription?
Standards? The university doesn’t any stinkin’ standards.
Makes a college degree worthless.
I have taught ESL for thirty-five years and have had students from all over the world. Guess what? They all want to learn to speak and write standard American English.
Your comment reminded me of something that was in one of the Zodiac killer documentaries on YouTube.
They interviewed a detective who had worked on the case, in the late '60s. He said "in 1967, the kids came to San Francisco with flowers in their hair, but by 1969 it would have been wise to bring a loaded revolver."
RE: Would YOU want a doctor to write out a prescription for medicine in Ebonics
Well, Doctors have to practice writing legibly first. :) LOL.
Why go through the trouble, just flunk all white students and give a free PhD to whatever minority is the political victimhood case of the week.
so if you “work” really hard to get the wrong answer, that counts more than if you are a better learner and have better study habits and can get the right answer through less struggle/work...
I’d like to apply for my heart surgeon job now and i’ll take that 300 grand a year, please...
I will work really, really hard -
Because the right answer doesn’t matter anymore...
I can carve up a patient like a turkey but I worked really really hard, so it’s all good.
The biggest enemy to liberals is truth (aka the real world)
Why not fill his class with students from special needs? They’ll put in the effort.
Wait until students don’t put any “labor” into the work.
Just print out the damn diplomas and give them to all freshmen. This idiot sounds like someone terrified of the work involved in reading and grading assignments, so he invents a reason to pass them all. Of course, once his gibberish-based standard becomes permanent, those white students...well, kiss them goodbye.
Great use that on Road tests too:-)
College graduates primarily communicate through writing. If they write like they’re ignorant, that’s exactly how they’re going to be seen regardless of how well they may be dressed and/or speak.
I’ve seen this problem before even though it was cloaked in a white skin. I won’t go into details, but he was a college graduate who wrote like a seventh grader; a poorly educated seventh grader, I might add. He could barely write cursive with a pen and what he did write was incoherent. And his deficiencies were not for lack of resources or opportunity as I knew and had served under his father, a senior field grade officer. Our company finally had to let him go. He simply could not perform the tasks expected of a junior analyst.
So, our brilliant professor of rhetoric at ASU is going to deliver minority students who are not experts in writing standard American college-level English into the competitive meat grinder of the professional workforce.
Bravo, professor! Bravo for creating another embittered generation of minority college graduates who cannot figure out why everyone is against them dispute all their “A” for effort grades. The bigotry of low expectations strikes again.
That is our govt, activity vs results.
Other than teaching at a ‘woke’ educational institution, how much of a salary can one get on the open market with a “Rhetoric & Composition” degree ... ? It sounds about as worthless as a ‘studies’ program.
