Woke University

From the Washington Examiner:  "USC's nonsensical decision to declare the word 'field' as racist. The University of Southern California's School of Social Work sent a letter declaring it would no longer use the word 'field' when referring to one's area of expertise. Instead, it is replacing it with the word 'practicum.'  Why would such a reputable school make such a silly, nonsensical change? Because of slavery, of course. The change was motivated by an adherence to the radical orthodoxy of  'anti-racist' methodology."

Do these idiots not see how ridiculous these bans of words are?  And anyone who uses the replacement words is just as foolish.

If "field" meaning "area of expertise" is to be banned, does that mean that "field" as in an "area of grass" is also off-limits?  The lyrics to "American Pie" come to mind:

"The players tried to take the field
The marching band refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died?"

Don McLean had better get to work revising that line right away!
