California university office will no longer use the word 'field' over racist 'connotations'

The University of Southern California's School of Social Work will no longer use the word "field" because it "may have connotations for descendants of slavery and immigrant workers that are not benign."

"Specifically, we have decided to remove the term ‘field’ from our curriculum and practice and replace it with ‘practicum,'" the letter said. "This change supports anti-racist social work practice by replacing language that would be considered anti-Black or anti-immigrant in favor of inclusive language."

I'm DYING!!!

I was REALLY hoping we'd all be past this nonsense by now, that it would have run it's course and died.

What idiots.

What's next? The word 'lobster' because that was a food the slaves ate?

So you are saying that as this trend continues,...our future language will be a random collection of grunts, whimpers, squeals, clicks, and snorts.

I suppose we should start learning Kalahari Click languages.

The University would not field any questions on the new policy.

Can't use sign language, that's already been deemed inappropriate. Or certain gestures anyway.

I'll have to take your word for it. I absolutely despise any Fox News websites when browsing on my phone. They're all so loaded with ads and pop ups, they're unreadable.

No doubt that is racist as well.

My plan is to ignore these dimwits and do as I please regardless of their gasping.

I love the new phrase
"Check your resentfulness"...when confronting whining ninnies.

Practicum sounds like some sort of sex workers training aid.

I bet it's just like toothpaste...you can't put it back in the tube it comes in.

Us: "Say..SMC79..is that a real pearl necklace you are wearing, or just practicum?"

Understandable when you consider a "field" is where farmers spread manure.
