You can't make this shit up....

If after one graduates from High school, and chooses not to pursue higher education, how the fuck is that anyone else's fault (regardless of color)? Furthermore, if someone does choose to pursue college/university, isn't up to THEM to decide on which courses to take? No one is holding a gun to their head and saying "You must take course A and course B etc." People are free to choose the professions they want to get into, in the UK, last time I checked.

Also... How are courses teaching Math, or Science or Medicine or Arts or Computers/Technology, racist courses?  They aren't. That woman is just flat out a fucking idiot.

Of course, you're exactly right. The push-back on ideology and race really comes in the humanities departments and to a lesser extent in the social sciences.

What grates the most, for me, is this idea that students are somehow being shortchanged by reading "dead white males". As if Toni Morrison, Louise Erdrich, Amy Tan, and a host of other excellent authors associated with 'minority' perspectives in their fiction didn't read -- and gain immeasurably by reading -- Chaucer, Shakespeare, Cervantes, Swift, Dickens, Faulkner, Joyce, Kafka, etc.

In the end, if people choose to shortchange themselves in their education, that is their prerogative, but I don't see any reason to make a virtue of it. And I certainly don't think it is the duty of universities to enable such willful self-hobbling.
