Have him read about the Tower of Babel, if he can in fact read.

White language ? How many countries did he include

From the OP link....how long did it take him to come up with that description ?

"Labor-based grading structurally changes everyone’s relationship to dominant standards of English that come from elite, masculine, heteronormative, ableist, white racial groups of speakers," Inoue said in the presentation, the College Fix reported.

So, you can be totally wrong, but as long as you put in the effort, you can get an A in his class? I hope this doesn't extend to Engineering and Architectural degrees!

From the article: "Inoue added that White supremacy culture "makes up the culture and normal practices of our classrooms and disciplines." To combat the issues, Inoue suggested implementing labor-based grading, which "redistributes power in ways that allow for more diverse habits of language to circulate." He has also coined the phrase, "Habits of White Language," used to describe the common way teachers and professors grade papers.

Inoue told Fox News later on Tuesday that "labor-based grading ecologies are fundamentally about creating compassionate, democratic conditions, ones that are critical and rigorous, if by rigorous we mean deep, thoughtful, engagement with each other for each other’s sake and not for grades or false external motivators that ultimately erode students’ abilities to learn and take risks."

"These new conditions can provide a wider group of students who come from a more diverse set of language backgrounds, to thrive and learn. This is important to do if we are to inquire about the politics of English language in our world that end up creating situations of misunderstanding and harm," he continued."
My wife wasn't born in the US and English is her second language. We moved the US a few ago and live in Mesa, AZ and my wife currently attends Mesa Community college.

She was intimidated when she started college fearing she couldn't keep up with the younger American students (wife is 57.) However, she quickly learned despite having graduate from a Japanese University almost 40 years ago she can easily handle the math requirements as well as the required reading/writing assignments (she's interested in psychology.)

My wife plans to transfer to ASU when she finishes at Mesa Community College.

Good to know ASU probably won't be any more difficult for her than Mesa Collage.

Minority groups said they wanted "integration." Society took them at their word. I guess they don't like the results.

The article states that this noodle head is a professor of "rhetoric and composition". Which means he got a fluff degree, got tired of flipping burgers, then decided to get a useless job in academia so he could spread his woke stupidity.
