Also pledges to decolonize the writing center

The English Department at Rutgers University recently announced a list of “anti-racist” directives and initiatives for the upcoming fall and spring semesters, including an effort to deemphasize traditional grammar rules.

The initiatives were spelled out by Rebecca Walkowitz, the English Department chair at Rutgers University, and sent to faculty, staff and students in an email, a copy of which was obtained by The College Fix.

Why lower standards?

Formalized downgrade of standards. Wow. Now it's all the way from kindergarten thru grad school. Serves to increase success, even if false success.

 

They tried this before, then it was called Ebonics.

They can call it what they want. I'll not be a part of it for I am an American without prefix or any other Fix.

 

Merkins musta aksed fur itt. U juss raciss.

 

raciss?
I am German, Norwegian, Spanish, Protegee, Scot, Irish, Fin, English, Norse, Dane and other @ 2%.

 

See, You admit to being several Raciss. So you are really Raciss.

 

As some one who had to learn 3 languages growing up, speaking Engrish ain't easy, but I have mastered it (mostly) and I am proud of that fact, I also speak fluent Ukrainian and German, and have been learning Spanglish and Canuckian, sort of a post doctorate leaning experience!

Point is, I had to try and learn, and I did, and I didn't get a certificate for it, it was required! I succeed in my own merits, not some made up bullshit, or to some one else's requirents! You wanna succeed in this country, you gotta work for it, you gotta earn it, and you gotta fight for it! It's the American way, and nothing else matters!

 

YUP.
Henry Ford paid a premium for those who attended his in house English Classes.
Not raciest but an understanding that communications within a factory were required to have a viable business plan.

 

Facts Hurt.

 

Ebonics was actually one teacher's attempt at teaching proper english. It was using the slang version of a proper english word as an example, only the leftists hijacked the teaching example to make it the curriculuml.

 

Having been in class rooms as a Technical Provider I can say that Instructors were to the point that Ebonics/Slang was to be in the home and the business world required proper communication skills. Their words not mine.
