There exists among those on the left the belief that there remains, in each of us, a racist ready to burst forth to demean others. One way to contain these beasts until a proper education can improve humankind’s natural state is to deal with language. In this case, academia is going far beyond the racial slurs that we should all abhor. This talk revolves around language itself and the culture of racism these people believe permeates our entire society.
Does this now mean that the rules of grammar need to be made more flexible as part of this effort to root this alleged racism out of our language?

Un f#@kin believable.
How ridiculous. Seeing the breakdown of civilization.
This is all utter nonsense. Colleges and Universities job is teaching the correct way, not making social judgments
I am a Filipina and a former teacher. Even in the Philippines, correct English grammar was emphasized. It is stupidity on the part of those “highly educated” university officials to discourage the correct use of the English language. How does correct grammar become a sign of racism? Call me a racist but I insist on using correct English grammar. I refuse to say, “I says, he don’t, me and my friend, I wish I was” among others.
I’m wondering whether they are just making excuses for those college students who would rather march, protest and not advance their education than be in the classroom and “perfect their English grammar”.
Morons. They’re just pi$$ed because their Ebonics didn’t go over.
Well, of course it is! Keep ’em stupid, they’re easier to control.
I jus gots 1 querstion to ax
So, WHAT ISN’T???
I seriously wonder what the percentage of teachers is who truly want to be teachers. Many are just putting in time
So Jive/ghetto talk isn’t racist? Damn Universities are getting dumber by the minute.Correct Grammar is not racist,nor is learning Math, History, Arts, and yes Proper ENglish racist.
