The word "field" is racist and that school USC has banned the word from their "curriculum." Yes, FIELD.

An office within the University of Southern California's School of Social Work says it is removing the term "field" from its curriculum because it may have racist connotations related to slavery.

The newly renamed Office of Practicum Education, formerly known as the Office of Field Education, within the university's Suzanne-Dworak-Peck School of Social Work, is making the change in order to be more inclusive, according to a memo sent out to faculty and students this week and obtained by NPR.

"This change supports anti-racist social work practice by replacing language that could be considered anti-Black or anti-immigrant in favor of inclusive language," the memo reads. "Language can be powerful, and phrases such as 'going into the field' or 'field work' may have connotations for descendants of slavery and immigrant workers that are not benign."

So USC has not removed the word like claimed, a single entity at USC has.

I used to think the 21st century rivaled the Victorian Age for Moral Panic.....

But lately I'm thinking we have it all over the chastity belts with keys
