Cambridge Professor Compares Black Race Report Author to Goebbels

3 Apr 2021
Infamous Cambridge University professor Priyamvada Gopal has compared the black author of a report on race relations in Britain to Nazi party propagandist Joseph Goebbels.
Gopal, who serves as a professor of postcolonial studies at the university, questioned the credentials of Dr Tony Sewell, one of the lead authors of the 264-page Downing Street report that concluded there is no “institutional racism” in the United Kingdom, asking: “Am I correct in thinking that it’s not, in fact, ‘Dr’ Tony Sewell? I mean, if we are doing to pander to the establishment, then surely the establishment’s rules matter.”

'Mother' and 'Man' Scrapped by Woke University for 'More Inclusive' Words

14 Mar 2021
The woke march through the institutions has ramped up at Manchester University, with after the UK’s second-largest university told staff to refrain from using gendered words such as “father” or “mother” in favour of more “inclusive language”.
In guidance released on the university’s website, the school said: “At Manchester, we embrace and celebrate difference and respect. We support each other to create an environment where everyone is able to reach their full potential.”
“The way we write for and about people can help to promote equality, diversity and inclusion, and provide the same opportunities for all. This guide outlines how to use inclusive language to avoid biases, slang or expressions that exclude certain groups based on age, race, ethnicity, disability, gender or sexual orientation.”

BLM-Inspired Council Targets 'Father of Capitalism' Adam Smith's Grave

7 Mar 2021
The grave of Scottish Enlightenment philosopher Adam Smith has become the latest target of a Black Lives Matter-inspired review of sites supposedly linked to “slavery and colonialism” by Edinburgh Council.
Adam Smith, known as the “father of capitalism” for his seminal works on economic theory, including
The Wealth of Nations, has drawn the ire of the Scottish capital’s local government, a coalition between the left-wing Labour Party and the left-separatist Scottish National Party (SNP).
In the wake of Black Lives Matter protests spreading to the United Kingdom after the death of George Floyd in America, the city council launched a review of historical monuments, place names, and other memorials for “removal or re-interpretation” over alleged links to “racism and oppression”.

Three Wise Monkeys Are Racist Now, Says Woke University of York
24 Jan 2021
Academics at the University of York removed a depiction of the three wise monkeys from their website after they determined it could be seen as an insult to ethnic minorities.
The Three Wise Monkeys, which embody the Japanese proverb “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” and are often used to describe those turning a blind eye to wrongdoing, have become the latest victims of the Black Lives Matter iconoclastic movement in the United Kingdom.
The organisers of an upcoming art history conference at the University of York in England have apologised for their use of the three monkeys in their call for submissions and removed it from their website.
