The University of Southern California (USC) Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work will no longer use the world “field” in its curriculum or its practices as part of its anti-racist framework, according to an email reportedly sent Monday.
The school reportedly stripped the word from use due to alleged ties to “anti-Black” and “anti-immigrant” rhetoric, according to the email sent by the Practicum Education Department to the campus community, faculty, staff and students. The school informed that the word “practicum” would be used instead to “ensure [its] use of inclusive language and practice.”

Okay, so we'll stick with a term that is more accurate: Dem plantation.

I wonder if they know white people work in fields. I grew up harvesting all sorts of things in fields. Hay, sorghum, corn, even cotton.

We need to stop using the word ‘university’ when referring to these so-called institutions of higher learning. I suggest replacing it with Stupidium.

It's about time...African ancestry people the world over have often complained that their favored word "Practicum" was not being used enough by whyte folks, this will finally heal that linguistic inequity. Celebratory marches are planned in Compton, longbeach, oakland and marin city. "The PEOPLES voice is finally being heard!" The overwhelming joy of this great victory on the righteous path to reconciliation was best exemplified by Rep. Maxine Waters who when asked her opinion replied "Say Whaaaaat???"

All liberals ever do is change titles, definitions, or historical facts to suit their radical agendas. This is especially true in Psychology, which has casually lumped the terms "Psychopath" and "Sociopath" under "Antisocial Personality Disorder" in the DSM-5, the Psychiatric "bible."
In my Engineering career we were forced to stop using the terms, "Master-Slave," to describe the functions of digital circuits/electronic systems, as well as the term "Jig" to describe a mechanical device to hold a piece of work while it is being manipulated in manufacturing. Someone "thought" it was "racially insensitive."
It's a pretty pathetic game useless leftists play to keep otherwise good people "hopping" to their command. Sort of reminds me of the actions of those Wild West movie villains who would make the "pilgrims dance" in the Saloon by shooting their six-shooters into the floor around their feet. They appear as a group of "fleas" residing on the tail of a Saint Bernhard who are attempting to wag the dog's entire body from their otherwise weak location.

Now we know why Colin Kapernick said that football players were slaves. They played on a field. Wokesters need to understand this: sometimes, a word is just a word. There is no deep hidden meaning in it. It is only racist if you make racist. Stop looking for offense where there is none. You will be much happier people.

So does that mean USC will disband the football team since it’s nothing but black guys playing on a field?

So no one now plays on a football field and baseball players don't play in the outfield. I've just found out I picked cotton in a field because of racism. I thought I was earning some money. The farmer used to plant watermelon in the cotton patch and they made a nice break snack. Back then the only people I saw picking cotton were white folks. I now know that white tenant farm was a racists. I need to get a new Newspeak dictionary.
My guess is that the highly paid people in that indoctrination center have never worked in a field that grows food or provides fiber for clothing or done anything else productive.

We already have revisionist history books and revisionist birth certificates, so I expect influencers to be pushing revisionist dictionaries any day now. Whatever happened to synonyms, have they been cancelled or something?
I actually think it might be a great project to start trimming, cropping, and culling newly-forbidden words from a regular dictionary. Maybe the optics of that would make a couple people think about what's happening?

The only solution is to provide everyone on any university or college campus with a weekly allotment of duct tape to be placed over the mouth and only removed in order to consume food or liquid. That way, no one will be able to say anything which would be offensive to anyone.

Know which sector of society has been dumbed down the most? It is academia itself! They actually believe the garbage they are peddling. It kind of makes sense. Dumbed down students require dumbed down teachers. The parent's role in their children's education is now more important than ever since academia has abdicated that role in the name of wokeness. What happens when the children realize the smartest person in the classroom is no longer the teacher?
As for banning the use of the word 'field', can we ban any sport that takes place on a field? Ban football and baseball for being racist!
Idiots.

Would be tyrants take subversive liberties with language, attempting to redefine words with commonly understood meanings into something unseemly, and punishing those who fight the twisting of the language. Much more than language is at stake. Freedom of expression is under direct threat by our would be re-educators, who brook no disagreement.

So, when the USC football team takes the practicum against UCLA or when a baseball manager try to recruit new left, center, and right practicums, they will be in keeping with USC's social work linguistic rhetoric. Hmm, a relative teaches high school English in the Valley. I must bring her up to speed on the new USC style book.

Wait! "Practicum" is a Latin word. The Romans were white males (okay, there were some females, too), and they were bellicose warriors who always brought home slaves who worked the fields. et al. So, I object to the Old Dead White Warlike Male terminology.
And now we need to tell these people to stop with this foolishness and grow up.

When I was growing up, I played baseball in a field. We had infielders and outfielders. We fielded ground balls.
I played football in a field. At work, I field questions about my area of expertise. Am I due reparations for being subjected to fields all my life? No, I am not some brainwashed twit at a US college or university.
As I have seen mentioned elsewhere, these are the best advertisements for trade schools.
