University Tells Staff to Teach that Whiteness and Heterosexuality are a Problem

by Will Jones
15 June 2024 5:42 PM

History lecturers at the University of Liverpool have been advised to “problematise” whiteness and heterosexuality in their seminars. The Telegraph has the story.

The advice has been given in guidance on how to “diversify” and “decolonise” the history curriculum, sent this week to academics at Liverpool – a member of the prestigious Russell Group universities.

But last night critics lambasted its recommendations as “ideologically driven” and “divisive”.

In the report, entitled ‘History Curriculum Diversity Audit’, staff are encouraged to “think creatively” about how they can bring questions of race and gender into the topics they teach.

Giving examples of how they might do so, the guidance asks them to consider: “Can a module that teaches exclusively about race relations do more to problematise and de-centre whiteness?”

The “diversity audit” also notes that there is a lack of “queer history” in the teachings on gender, while pointing out that there are no seminars “problematising heteronormativity” – a term which refers to treating heterosexuality as the norm.

Elsewhere, it tells history lecturers that it is not enough to simply include more BAME – meaning Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic –  women or non-binary scholars on their reading lists.

They are directed that in addition they must discuss the diversity of the reading lists with their students on every module that is taught.

Teaching staff are further told that it is “essential” they make their seminars “safe spaces” because topics such as race and gender can be both “emotional” and “challenging” for students.

Meanwhile, department heads are urged to introduce compulsory training on “inclusive teaching” for all academics to help them “feel more comfortable initiating and managing such conversations”.

And we’re about to elect a Labour Government! God help us.

Worth reading in full.

This could be because there is no body or authority to regulate or insist on amateurs playing sport in a park not having Trans in the game. —-But I have said it before that the only way this will stop is if those participating refuse to participate, and this is not easy to organise. I appreciate women will have put a lot of time, effort and money into their sport but if they feel strongly that this nonsense should stop then they must organise, or they will not have a sport left to participate in.

Strikes me as a form of subterfuge and sadism. No real man or real woman would want to take part in a competition where they had obvious unfair inborn advantages. You wouldn’t be winning anything you would just be putting the worst part of yourself on display.

”Protected”? Ha! Look at this. All on the same day, so a good comparison. I’m pretty sure that British females will feel much more secure and protected knowing that only the ‘dangerous’ non-predatory woman got sent down while the three male perverts got off Scott free. They can be assured that the slap on the wrist is all the deterrent these pervs need to learn their lesson;

”On the same day Lucy Connolly was jailed for 31 months for a FB post: a policeman who sexually assaulted 2 women, a registered sex offender who asked children for naked pics online & a pervert voyeur who secretly filmed women on the toilet because he was “horny”, all walked free.”

This dangerous nonsense will only stop if ALL women and girls refuse to participate in organised sports, whether at professional or local level (including schools).
