USC’s School of Social Work is removing the word “field” from its curriculum and practice, arguing that it “could be considered anti-black or anti-immigrant” to say someone is “going into the field” or conducting “field work.” The university explains, “our goal is not just to change language but to honor and acknowledge inclusion and reject white supremacy, anti-immigrant and anti-blackness ideologies.”
“We have decided to remove the term ‘field’ from our curriculum and practice and replace it with ‘practicum.’ This change supports anti-racist social work practice by replacing language that could be considered anti-black or anti-immigrant in favor of inclusive language,” a letter from the Practicum Education Department read.
The letter was shared by Houman David Hemmati, a board-certified MD Ophthalmologist and Ph.D. research scientist, who said the USC Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work “will no longer use the word ‘field’ (as in ‘conducting field work’) because it’s perceived as racist.”

No more Field Trips, kids.
1984 squared.
and how do all the boys on the ball FIELD feel about it???
oh right, they’re all slaves, i forgot...
I did “field work” for electrical distribution design.
Almost completely white males. Zero offended…
Even the females and non whites weren’t offended.
Now, if office work was called house n***** work, well…
If you look up the definition for Practicum it says….“A practicum is an undergraduate or graduate-level course, often in a specialized field of study, that is designed to give students supervised practical application…”
What could possibly be racist about the word field; oh I forgot, we are talking libtards.
This is so effing stupid!
All the old name schools in California are a joke now
These people are lunatics.
“No more Field Trips, kids.”
True, they’ll have to simply call them “trips”.
Apparently they have no Field of Vision.
Language Police: USC Removes ‘English Language’ Because It May Be ‘Anti-Black or Anti-Immigrant
Practicum trips. Rolls right off the tongue.
The GOOD news is that parents can now save big money NOT sending their kids to a toilet bowl like USC, unless they want them to turn into a little woke zombie. I think the time is coming when parents will wake up and trade schools will experience a big revival. Can always use more plumbers, electricians, contractors, etc. and they can make very good money.
USC needs to remove “learning” from their description of “higher learning”
Remove ‘work’ too, it recalls slavery.
“practicum” sounds racist to me—obviously some Karen honkies came up with that dumb word!
Oh noes. Can't call them "trips", as that would imply drug use. Can't impugn the poor widdle darlings.
Hell, “work” could itself be viewed as anti-black, so dump that too.
