Yale may cave on English poets course after students called it 'too white'

The English faculty at Yale looks prepared to surrender to social justice warriors demanding a rewrite of the storied “Major English Poets” course.

The faculty’s chair appeared to make concessions after calls for the compulsory course be “decolonized” because it features too many white male authors.

Students claimed that they were “so alienated that they have to walk out of the room” because of a preponderance of authors like Shakespeare and Chaucer, who “actively harm” them.

In a petition demanding that minority writers be injected into the curriculum, students left their teachers little room for dissent.

They concluded: “It is your responsibility as educators to listen to student voices. We have spoken. We are speaking. Pay attention.”

Remember that movie "Billie Jack"??  We need to take these cupcakes out in the Everglades and feed 'em to the gators instead of toddlers...if they can walk out alive with an improved outlook, maybe we won't run 'em back in...

English is the mother tongue of white people from a white nation, and I would tell these little snowflakes that they are culturally misappropriating my heritage and the heritage of millions of others, and to go learn another language.

That's stir the nest good.

There must be a course in Major Swahili Poets, Major Farsi Poets or Major Mandarin Poets where "white" poets are woefully underrepresented. Perhaps they should enroll in one of those courses. You know, just to expand their horizons.

It's Yale.

They'll cave.
