Alas poor Shakespeare

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!!

Oh yes!

People working to an agenda rather than honesty.

hello, sorry 🤔🙄

Most people who are assigned female at birth identify as girls or women, and most people who are assigned male at birth identify as boys or men. These people are cisgender (or cis). 

What used to be known as normal! :cool1:

unis are now just brain washing establishments used to remove any free will or thought the young may have 

Students have always traditionally been Bolshevik/left wing. Some of them learn more sense eventually and grow out of it.

This twaddle from UEA brings to mind a little quote from Shakespeare:

"It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

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.
