re: Grading Writing Based On Quality Is ‘Racist,’ Promotes ‘White Language Supremacy’

Posting here is racist if you are wittier than the average black guy.

Everyone must post like Texridder.

Lol! Sounds about right circa 2021. I think the term “racist” is the clearest example of The Boy Who Cried Wolf we will ever have. Unfortunately for those who really experience it, the wolf does make an appearance at some point.

I would say poor quality has a direct correlation to effort, but I'm a racist white guy, so what do I know?

I’m struggling with this. Can’t decide if the idea is more stunning, or the fact that someone would boldly say such stupidity in public is more stunning.

It’s time to start shaming these people instead of letting them hide.

An Arizona State University Associate Dean penned a 358-page book detailing how grading student’s writing is a form of racism and white supremacy.

In a book titled “Labor-Based Grading Contracts: Building Equity and Inclusion in the Compassionate Writing Classroom,” professor Asao Inoue encourages teachers to ditch grading for a “labor-based” grading system wherein students earn grades based on their effort. The quality of a student’s writing would not help or hinder their course grade.

A for effort.

Seems like liberals really want a return to the dark ages, where most of the population was illiterate.

If you're not going to fricking educate people in college, then you don't need my fricking tax dollars to fund it anymore.

‘White Language Supremacy’


Well hell.

TLDR: Leftists hate objective reality and deem judgement of anything in finite terms (such as rules of grammar) as unacceptable. Paraphrased from the Unibomber's Manifesto: "They do so because of their own personal racist beliefs about minorities combined with their own hostility and frustrated need for power. In doing so they actually harm black people (and other people of color), because their hostile attitude toward the white majority tends to intensify race hatred."

Other relevant excerpts from Ted Kaczynski's Industrial Society and its Future:

quote:

12. (...) Political correctness has its stronghold among university professors, who have secure employment with comfortable salaries, and the majority of whom are heterosexual white males from middle- to upper-middle-class families.

---

quote:

13. Many leftists have an intense identification with the problems of groups that have an image of being weak (women), defeated (American Indians), repellent (homosexuals) or otherwise inferior. The leftists themselves feel that these groups are inferior. They would never admit to themselves that they have such feelings, but it is precisely because they do see these groups as inferior that they identify with their problems. (We do not mean to suggest that women, Indians, etc. ARE inferior; we are only making a point about leftist psychology.)

16. (...) The leftist is antagonistic to the concept of competition because, deep inside, he feels like a loser.

quote:

---

18. Modern leftish philosophers tend to dismiss reason, science, objective reality and to insist that everything is culturally relative. (...) But it is obvious that modern leftish philosophers are not simply cool-headed logicians systematically analyzing the foundations of knowledge. They are deeply involved emotionally in their attack on truth and reality. They attack these concepts because of their own psychological needs. (...) More importantly, the leftist hates science and rationality because they classify certain beliefs as true (i.e., successful, superior) and other beliefs as false (i.e., failed, inferior). The leftist’s feelings of inferiority run so deep that he cannot tolerate any classification of some things as successful or superior and other things as failed or inferior. This also underlies the rejection by many leftists of the concept of mental illness and of the utility of IQ tests.

People like this used to be called kooks and generally ignored. Now they are seen as leaders and enlightening us all by too many.

Ask him if he wants to live in a society where functional morons get to be doctors and nuclear physicists, because they try really hard.

When I drive across a bridge, I want to know it was designed by someone with an IQ above that of pocket lint.
