First find some Major English Poets who weren’t White males, and then get back to me.

“...courses in the department were ‘hostile’ to students of color...” = they flunked.

“’A year spent around a seminar table where the literary contributions of women, people of color and queer folk are absent actively harms all students, regardless of their identity,’ it reads.”

Racists and bigots that want people selected for employment based on skin color and sexual habits than merits.

Yep. I’ve been witnessing this. “People of color”, read; Indians, think it is no fair that they cannot do the work.

Donald Trump has done a great job of bringing Muslim immigration and the term “Radical Islam” to the fore. Academic communism should be his next one.

The dumb-ass liberals/dems have unleashed something they cannot control. They have taught these “kids” no values, no character, no context and no understanding of the world and how it works. All they have been taught is if they don’t like something then it must be changed — but the focus was conservatism/ Republicans and “white” history as “the bad”. But what the libs don’t understand is that with no boundaries or context, these “kids” will also turn on them — and they ain’t going to like it.

You really need to seek out a support group for people who routinely slam people from India. I’m sorry you were dumped by one, but let it go........

Africa didn’t even have a written language until it was colonized. What are they going to read?

Yale students claim they are angry because they have no gay or black representation of poets in the English Dept?

Yet members of the most numerous demographic group in USA (white Protestants) should bend over and readily accept being unrepresented on the US Supreme Court?

Scenes from (the film adaptation of) Brave New World come across my mind whenever this aspect of the agenda unfurls. No more need for Shakespeare.

There is a reason that it’s called the “English” department.
