The English Department at Rutgers University has declared that proper use of grammar is a hidden form of racism because it disadvantages students of "Multilingual, non-standard 'academic' English backgrounds."
Grammar is rather boring, so the department is going to sex it up with all sorts of fascinating additions.
The "Critical grammar" approach challenges the standard academic form of the English language in favor of a more inclusive writing experience.
Leonydus Johnson, a speech pathologist and libertarian activist, said the school's change makes the racist assumption that minorities cannot comprehend traditional English.
Even abstract ideas like emotions and feelings can be communicated using commonly accepted forms of grammar.
Grammar "Greases the skids" of communication by making things easier to understand.
The Rutgers English department created a Committee on Bias Awareness and Prevention in 2012.
