A University of Florida professor is warning her students not to use the term “melting pot,” unless they want to risk a hit to their grades.

Art professor Pamela Brekka’s policy was first reported by Campus Reform after the website obtained images of the syllabus and online assignments for her class, Art Appreciation: American Diversity and Global Arts. The class, which Brekka taught over the 2016 summer term, helps fulfill the university’s distributive requirement for the humanities, along with a separate diversity requirement.

Diversity is division and separation, not unity.
