I took a Major Black Writers course at a local communtitty collidge once. I was exposed to a lot of great writing by great AA authors from throughout history. One thing I noticed tho, the grades, the papers, the in class essays, were all graded so easily. Easiest A I ever got in a course. From this tiny amt of exposure to lefty social science liberal arts academia, (as a rule, I prefered my non science/math courses in college to be dead, white, and male) I took away the idea that college + identity politics = really lax standards 🤷‍♂️

and it sounds like they're really shortchanging good writers--"we've conceded this class after the 1968 pickets, so take the A and shut up now!"

Yeah! That's what it felt like in the class, too "Shut up and have the correctTM opinions about the material and themes explored and we'll give you your A!"
