UChicago English Department Accepted only Black Studies Concentrators

[Lisa558]

This is a few years old, but it shows how far along universities have become in indoctrinating students into the leftist agenda. Here we see where the U of Chicago had, as its official policy, to accept ONLY applicants who wanted to concentrate in Black Studies into its graduate English program.

The announcement further stated that it is the responsibility of all faculty to “fight anti-blackness” and that English as a discipline “has rationalized colonization and anti-blackness.”

UChicago English Department to Accept Only Black Studies Applicants

The University of Chicago’s English department has announced that it “is accepting only applicants interested in working in and with Black Studies” citing the Marxist Black Lives Matter movement in their announcement. In a post on their website, English department faculty notes that they “attend...

Combating racism is a leftist agenda?

Combating racism is a leftist agenda?

Yes, when it is focused solely on fighting anti-black racism while advancing - even practicing - anti-white racism.

That the U of Chicago chose to dedicate its entire English Grad program to fighting racism against blacks is ridiculous, but par for the course with the leftist agenda.

What about white students who want to become English professors at the university level and need a Ph.D., or at the high school level and need a master’s? Maybe they’d like to teach the Great Works of literature to 11th graders? Or maybe they’d like teach better writing composition skills to 9th graders?

No wonder kids are graduating without ever having read Charles Dickens or knowing how to construct a grammatically correct sentence. Their “teachers” are being trained to teach them about anti-blackness, and to put those whitr people in their place.

Accusations not in evidence.

I have no idea why. This was a time right after the president of the United States had called people SOB's and called for them to be fired for peacefully protesting to get heard concerning the decades of racism they had faced.

So you disagree that publicly announcing only black students will be accepted is NOT racial discrimination??


No wonder your side is so fucked in the head, you cannot even define the words you use...

Well, that's NOT what is being said so..........

No wonder your side is so fucked in the head, you cannot even define the words you use...

Maybe I side on the side of reading comprehension.

We have kids graduating from high school who can’t even write a grammatically correct sentence, and the U Chicago is devoted to training future English teachers to combat “anti-blackness.”

I thought the prevailing thought in Academia was that Jive- the official dialect of black people- was its own language, separate and equal in standing to English and the Recieved Pronunciation?

Why would the U of Chicago even have a black concentration in their English studies?

Covfefe!!!

This thread should be shutdown. First the link is 5 years old. Second it is a lie. Here is the note that clearly says they are looking for people who want to work in black studies, not black students. And it is for a Graduate Program. Not undergraduate. This Is a moronic post from clearly a person with the reading comprehension of a moron.

That’s a great point. WHY would there be a black studies concentration in a graduate English program?
