Maybe the choices will be political rather than academic, that's what you're saying? If so, that would be a shame. But I don't disagree with the sentiment behind the demands. It is important to hear different perspectives. It sure helps people get along better, understanding a little bit of where they're coming from.
The group sounds like typical Democrats to me. Book burners.
Unfortunately they are mainstream Democrats by 2020 standards.
Who decides who is "best?" There is nothing "color blind" about our value judgments; we are most comfortable with what we know best, people of our own kind.
That is the first time I have heard rabid racism described as merely a perspective, but whatever floats your float, OL.
They demanding that SOME white male authors be removed and authors representing other view points be added. Isn’t that promoting intellectual diversity?Not as long as it discriminates against White guys, right?
Lets be clear, the students are demanding WHITE authors be removed, not just some reform of the list based on a diversity of IDEAS.
Why are liberals these days so blind to intellectual diversity?
Oh, right, because all intellectuals with good hearts are, deep down, liberals too?
How do you know they are lesser? Isn’t that an assumption?
How does removing some authors on the basis of their race and gender have anything to do with intellectual diversity?
When leftwing Woketards demand dropping authors from curriculums simply because they are white, only liberal ideologues can somehow assert that has nothing to do with race at all, lol.
Evidently you even argue about race when alone since the above never took place with me...everything in that post is made up because nothing I sad fits your narrative so you invented something that did.But no books are banned. That is the problem with rightwing logic.
Left wing logic: we need more diversity in everything!
Right wing logic: they want add more diverse authors, they are banning books!
Somewhere is rational middle.
Not all courses benefit from ethnic/other diversity being added. Math and hard sciences for example. But courses in history, literature, culture, sociology could well benefit. For example a history of Latin America would benefit by including readings by authors from that region. A course on Native American cultures, similar.
So let’s add some where it matters. How is that racist?
Is it racist that most textbooks and readings are by white make authors?
Claims of racism often are not.

lol...you mean "backdoor book banning" [don't you?], and so far the only defense you have had is to repeatedly misquote me on it.
In the sense that the rest is nonsensical jibber jabber and couldn't possibly be anything I said or would say, that is true.
