Are you guys ready for this one?
A Massachusetts college has decided to issue a ban on a word they have deemed to be racist.
That word… “field.”
Not Kidding
The Smith College School of Social Work noted its Office of Field Education has changed its name.
The office is now called the Office of Practicum Learning.
Why the name change?
The school wanted the program to have a less “racist” connotation to it.
Apparently, any mention of the word field is now associated with slaves picking cotton in the fields of plantations.
An email from the school stated, “We are writing to let you know that, going forward, the Office of Field Education will be renamed the Office of Practicum Learning, in keeping with our values and our commitment to anti-racist work.
“The college’s Toward Racial Justice Plan asks us to consider that Smith was not originally designed for the diverse students, staff and faculty that we have now, and calls us to reflect on our past and present to build a more just and inclusive future.”
This is the world that Democrats have made for us… and they are actually proud of themselves for it.
