Excerpt:
"The University of Southern California has removed the word ‘field’ from the curriculum and academic references because it supposedly has “racist” connotations.

No, this isn’t the Babylon Bee.

The university announced that phrases such as “field of study” will be replaced by “practicum” in order to advance the cause of anti-racism."
---------------------------------------------------

I guess students at USC now get to learn another utterly useless word to avoid being called names.

        Cut your cable. You will be surprised how much better you will feel.
        My mother (may she rest in peace) stopped watching the "idiot box" back it the 1970's. She said it insulted her intelligence. It took me a while to learn the lessons of my betters. My mother never lectured me, she dropped bread crumbs. Eventually, like all things in life, you mature and "get" those little nuggets of wisdom your elders were imparting.

          I cut the cable about 5 yrs ago. I have an antenna that brings in the 3 networks and Fox. I have a ROKU box for other channels. Same crap on the antenna as cable. ALL deference to your mother. Mine died about 10 yrs ago in car accident. Smart mothers like ours have a way of "guiding" us

            My condolences. It's a tough thing watching our parents pass away. R.I.P. That is one of the great traumas in life. The only thing that can be worse is one of our children or spouse pass before we do. God Bless.

      Slavery has been around since the dawn of man, and not all under the same understanding or practice. If one wants to get very generic, almost all historical monarchies have been to some degree or another enactments of slavery. If the king wanted your daughter, you had no choice - and neither did she. Whether it was a feudal lord in Japan or Austria it was the same: these tyrants had control over your crops and your lives.

      In my opinion, however, what we have today is even worse. Today, instead of slavery of the body, we have slavery of the mind. Progressives the world over seek to enslave not only the will but the thoughts of everyone else, using technology and monitoring to attempt to subdue, cancel, and shame everyone else into becoming like them. The free mind is anathema to them because it exposes their pettiness and small-mindedness and their tyrannical desires for power.

    CA watering down the caliber of their degree's one moronic act at a time. Soon a degree from Calif will be a hurdle in getting a real job, or the guaranteed state stipend checks.

    Strange world when the National Enquirer starts to have more credibility.

    Somewhere in the late 20th century racism was defeated. It left the progressives without a cause to campaign on. So, a little-known statement from the left called WOKE developed. It assumes that racism is a major part of our daily lives. To date this is an exaggeration of a fantasy over reality. It is a joke our grandchildren believe to be fact. This form of ignorance must be overcome to save the Republic. It is not too late to reverse this fantasy.

    One of my high-school friends came up with a theory of intelligons: intelligence particles. There were "A" particles and "B" particles and people had a tendency to attract either "A" or "B" particles based on their actions and innate intelligence. "A" types were intelligent and sought out more intelligence and other "A" types. "B" types were the opposite, tending to go along and muddle through, seeking mediocrity and status quo rather than enlightenment. It is unfortunate that our universities of higher learning have been taken over by "B" types.

    It's becoming almost as if academia is the new tower of Babel and as it falls the total destruction of language is underway leaving a people who will no longer be able to understand each other. When Western Civilization collapses the remaining tribes will have their own language. Rinse, repeat?

    I wonder what the word for "field" is in Swahili. Maybe USC can use that instead. Or would that be Afro-supremacist?

    Some years ago I recall a language called "Ebonics". Is that still around or has it already gone down Latin road?

    Since slaves were field hands back in the day, they will replace manual or any reference to hand next.

      The slaves who worked in the house apparently regarded themselves as being better than the lowly field hands. Also (an in addition) have you noticed that the word "slave" has been cancelled? It's now "enslaved person."

      Then there are the apologies: "Oh, I didn't know that the word 'cancelled' has been cancelled. What word should I be using instead?"

        While visiting President Jefferson's home, Monticello, two years ago, the phrase "Enslaved People" appeared nearly everywhere. I wrote in my survey of the visit I did not need to be reminded, literally dozens of times, that there were once slaves. However, I never owns slaves -- peddle your guilt trip to someone else.

        So what do you call all the people in the Mid East being held against their will and work for free? What about all the women and children being trafficked around the world for sex slavery, do we get to talk about them? 400,000 children in this country alone "go missing" and are never found. Should we talk about that? Is USC part of that scheme?
        No Susan, there really are modern slaves all over the world right now. But you'll never hear the Woke Left talk about anything of actual significance because... Look! A squirrel!
        Prove me wrong.

    JFC. However, I think at this point that best forward path is to encourage this RightSpeak until the population can no longer tolerate it at all, and begins the vomit via comedy.
