old'un Posted July 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 Its almost like there is an agenda to remove our history and the Englishness from the English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discobob Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 Quote The change was sparked by a letter from students last year that described the current course as being dominated by ‘white, cisgendered male authors’, and centred on the ‘privileged, white, male experience’. It accused the department of being ‘complicit in upholding exclusionary, erasive, patriarchal, heteronormative and white supremacist standards’. My God - I never knew!!!! Please forgive me for being so wrong for all these years - and centuries. Anybody seen/read Noughts & Crosses - this is what they want our history to be!!

oldypigeonpopper Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) Hello, What's Cisgendered ?? Maybe Browning's poem should read quote, Oh to be in England, now that July is here, and who ever Wokes in England, sees some Students Unaware 🤔🙄 Edited July 21, 2021 by oldypigeonpopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Best Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 Perhaps, historically, all this has come about because 400 years ago only privileged white people could read and write. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old'un Posted July 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 University of East Anglia is to ‘decolonise’ its courses following demands from students, but they do not say what percentage of students are demanding this change. The UK’s track record may have its flaws, as do most countries, but I am proud of my country and its history, why are these youngster so bent on trying to rub out history, what do they hope to achieve by it? If this is all off the back of BLM (George Floyd) then I think someone needs to look at more recent history of the 20th century and the genocide in Africa, where around 10 million people were murdered.
