(Rob Shimshock) An “antiracist” poster in a college writing center insists American grammar is “racist” and an “unjust language structure,” promising to prioritize rhetoric over “grammatical ‘correctness.’”
The poster, written by the director, staff, and tutors of the University of Washington, Tacoma’s Writing Center, states “racism is the normal condition of things,” declaring that it permeates rules, systems, expectations, in courses, school and society.
My Commentary: I call bullshit! And, I’ll prove it, too!
“Grammar is important! Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your Uncle jack off a horse.”
See?
(note: I previously used the same meme to address another attempt to attack grammar as racist in my post, “Sorry, Chalabi, But Grammar is Important!“)
