“White language supremacy” is the problem, and destroying grading standards is the solution, at least according to one Arizona State University English professor.
Asao B. Inoue is a professor of Rhetoric & Composition at ASU and he is urging his fellow (xello?) teachers to fight “white language supremacy” by implementing “labor-based grading” which “redistributes power in ways that allow for more diverse habits of language to circulate.”
The problem is this: “White language supremacy in writing classrooms is due to the uneven and diverse linguistic legacies that everyone inherits, and the racialized white discourses that are used as standards, which give privilege to those students who embody those habits of white language already.”
In other words, when kids are taught proper English they forget all the vernacular they learned growing up and then we’ll lose all our cherished diversity and everybody will die of injustice, The End.
Or maybe Inoue is saying people of color just can’t be expected to learn proper English.
Tell that to James Earl Jones, Mr. Inoue.
I’d also add that a professor of Rhetoric & Composition ought to avoid writing sentences like this one from his unicorn-decorated Twitter profile: “Our languaging changes as we do. Doing this kind of conventioning work might cultivate practices in students that ask them to be lifelong languagelings, ones who learn about their conventioning throughout their lives.”
Give me an F, please, teacher.
To fight the power, Inoue recommends labor-based grading, which “structurally changes everyone’s relationship to dominant standards of English that come from elite, masculine, heteronormative, ableist, white racial groups of speakers.”
That’s according to a presentation he recently gave on the subject, as seen by The College Fix.

Does the madness ever end?
Yes. Yes it does. When the gods of the copybook headings return. Things are good for a while after that, but slowly, the stupidity creeps back in.
It won’t end until we make it end. Dr. Pinochet, please pick up the white courtesy phone.

Another low-grade, cheap ideology, life-long parasitic bureaucrat/academic.
The janitors and groundskeepers should make as much money as this clown. If it’s the labor that counts.
So, another crappy teacher who doesn’t want his lack of teaching ability to be exposed, so he is going to change the rules.

> Does the madness ever end? <
No. And that’s because of today’s vile ‘Cancel Culture’. Probably 95% of Professor Inoue‘s colleagues know he’s talking rubbish. But anyone who speaks up against him would be branded as a racist and a hater, and purged.
How about I use phrases like might could and fixin to? Was been?
Anyhow, whenever the Major gave me an assignment, I completed it ASAP, and returned it to him. The speed in which I did my work gave him the impression I was doing it half-assed, and that I was using my influence with the “Old Man” to get by.
It wasn’t rocket science, and the pace of work was usually much slower than what I dealt with in Germany. Accordingly, I started on these assignments as soon as I received them.
It took him over a month to realize he had completely misread the situation, and he apologized to me. Our working relationship was fine after that.
Grading based on labor doesn’t give black students advantage. It does give Asian students advantage though
Grading based on skin color will do it
In the private sector customers don’t pay for effort, they pay for tangible products and quantifiable services.
Just wait until they’re students get out into the real world.
Inoue recommends labor-based grading,
And on a completely different note. Last night BBC America showed ‘Apollo 13’. DirecTV provides an option to see who the actors are and on some movies they have a parental info choice which I clicked to see what they had to say. The gist was how little ‘diversity’ there was in the NASA men (’all white males’) trying to save the astronauts. That and they smoked.
Academia is a self-perpetuating cesspool and no amount of heavy duty toilet cleaner is going to help change it.
Apropos of nothing, when your only tool is a hammer, every, uh, problem starts to look like a nail.
Questions of quality aside, I wonder how the professor proposes to evaluate the amount of labor that went into a paper.
