English

decolonise

Just your daily reminder that this is genocidal rhetoric.

How does one 'decolonise'... 'english'?

What they mean is 'colonise'. They are colonising it.

Gradually, I began to hate them.

It's always this. Always the opposite of what they say. They'll do the same thing to other countries like Japan trying to force them to change, making them exactly what they complain about.

Once I got over the initial hill of resistance, it was pretty easy to get all the way back down the other side.

I guess they’ll be discussing all of those great English novels written in Africa.

Sense and Sensibility (1811)

Pride and Prejudice (1813)

Mansfield Park (1814)

All liberal triggers.

Austen is a very good writer.

it would be a stretch to call TM a writer.

(Erasing our history Part Umpteenth.)

Replace the great works with the scribblings of talentless political hacks who endlessly bitch and moan about "oppression"?

How about go fuck yourself?

I'm sure the Immortal Bard is problematic too, so it's only a matter of time before an English university trashes Shakespeare, the greatest poet, the most elegantly insightful voice ever to dramatize the human condition.

If the English destroy their own historical contribution to humanity, their literature, what is left? A literal-minded dystopia where every utterance is made political and weaponized to become "a boot stamping on a human face--for ever."

This material will include markedly different themes compared to those in Austen’s novels, with students told: “The main topics covered will include racial difference and critical race theory, gender and sexuality.”

In a few years, every college syllabus will say the exact same thing. Pure cancer.

Instead students will take turns pulling out their phones and reading stanzas from Soulja Boy Tell'em's 2007 magnum opus, "Crank DAT (Soulja Boy)".

Edit: Professor- "What do you feel the author meant here when he said, 'YOUUUUU!'?

I truly hate that word. So deprive people of classics of literature due to woke garbage.

This could have all been avoided if they hadn't been racist about it. No one needs to read Jane Austen, and Toni Morrison could be interesting, so the change would be routine. Nope, gotta virtue signal.

Stirling University?

Scotland is so fucked. It's got to be one of the most pozzed countries in the world at this point.
