KURT ZINDULKA
Oxford University is considering proposals that would remove sheet music from its curriculum over claims that the Western form of musical notation has roots in “colonialism†and “complicity in white supremacyâ€.
In response to widespread Black Lives Matter riots in the United Kingdom, music educators at Oxford have joined the wider iconoclastic movement which has been sweeping through British academia.
The music department at the prestigious and ancient university has seen calls to remove music notation from the curriculum as professors seek to focus less on white European heritage and culture.
The woke educators went on to claim that musical notation itself is a “colonialist representational system†that has “complicity to white supremacyâ€. The claim is similar to leftist pronouncements in America that mathematics is inherently racist.
The Oxford academics pronounced that as the skills involved are closely tied to “white European musicâ€.
Professors at the university said that the classical music which is taught at Oxford, which includes Beethoven, Mozart, and Schubert, is too focused on “white European music from the slave periodâ€.
