All language is racist, don’t you know?
Only grunts and finger-pointing should be allowed.
Shouldn’t that be:
No more fielding questions about the USC football practice practicum?
“You hit the baseball into the empty practicum, you go get it”..
It just gets ridiculouser and ridiculouser..
Everyone living in a city should be forced to work on a farm or ranch, right smack in the middle of a red state. They might just learn something real for a change.
Extracting roots of polynomials may sound too much like hoeing weeds in the master’s fields for some people. That’s gotta go now!
Tell the language police to get lost.
Yes, make sure all those former slaves in the state of California don’t get their feelings hurt.
They need to scrub the word “work” from whatever they are doing.
“Los Angeles” and “California” are the language of white colonialists.
The university needs to permanently shut down to prove it is not racist.
Maya Borenstein, a graduate student studying social work. “The title of my courses doesn't really affect me. I'm all for changing language if it's what they think is correct.”
She will do whatever her masters tell her.
And how come when these woke follies crop up there is always a Borenstein involved but never a MacGregor?
[[hrases such as ‘going into the field’ or ‘field work’ may have connotations for descendants of enslaved people and immigrant workers that are not benign,”]]
Well too bad! Grow a freaking spine and get on with life!
There is such a thing as too much education. Just saying.
Th3 constitution was created to protect people’s rights, NOT their delicate precious hypersensitive feelings about phrases that have nothing to do with racism! Grow up liberals
“Anti-racist” language change at USC causes confusion among students, community

It’s confusing to all humanity with an IQ of 90 or higher. The buffoonery that passes as academia today is astounding. People can try and write it off as “fringe”, but it’s obviously driving policy changes at major universities. The people who support this should be treated like conservatives are routinely treated...doxxed and ridiculed mercilessly.
Someone should tell USC that the word “practicum” is from Latin, the language used by the Romans. And as we all know, the Romans held slaves. They also invaded neighboring countries. Many of those countries were inhabited by people of color.
Shame on USC! Are they not aware of the evil racist past of the word “practicum”? Or do they simply not care?
(See? It’s easy finding racism where there is none.)
Anyway, I thought the colored folks had a copyright on the word roots anyway. Gonna have to come up with a new word.
There was zero people to offend in my DiffEq class…
Besides, they’ve already declared Mathematics to be racist in general.
