“It is unacceptable that a Yale student considering studying English literature might read only white male authors. A year spent around a seminar table where the literary contributions of women, people of color, and queer folk are absent actively harms all students, regardless of their identity,” the students write in the petition.

The “Major English Poets” requirement for Yale English majors focuses on the work of poets Geoffrey Chaucer, Edmund Spenser, William Shakespeare, John Milton, William Wordsworth, and T.S. Eliot. Despite this lineup lacking the diversity that the students desire, it’s an accurate reflection of the figures who have most influenced English poetry.

According to the students, the “Major English Poets” course “creates a culture that is especially hostile to students of color.”

Yet, they can't explain how it is "hostile" or how it affects them.

In "English". Degree in "English" means easy four year degree. Easy four year degree is racist. Make it easier to graduate. Because racism/ sexism. "English" has too many white patriarchal protestant cis-gendering, sex normative males in it.

Fine.  Read the books by african americans and women.  Have fun not knowing the symbolism.  The only books i enjoyed reading by an author in thkse categories was harry potter.  The rest; white male austhors were easier to read.

Hilariously you might be into something there.  I should comment before someone comes along to call your comment racist.

They want to focus on minority writers. For some reason they don't want to read books by the authors who shaped the philosophies that they are discussing.

Done properly an English degree is tough to get.  This stuff is a joke.

Edit: too late lol

That's what they get for studying English Literature. English is an imperialistic mainsplaining language used to oppress PoC for centuries. They would have been better off with a more accepting language like Spanish.

Major English Poets are fucking white.  If the course was Multicultural Poets and only had white people then that would be a valid complaint.  These 'tards are going to enter the workforce at some point ?    Stop the Planet I wanna get off

So rejecting ALL white authors (or contributors to ANY other subject) isn't racist?

White authors have NOTHING relevant to contribute?

John Milton is one of the white guys they are complaining about.  His "Paradise Lost" was the second most read book in America at the time of the American Revolution.  If they don't read Milton, they will miss out on some pretty high level thinking.  But I can see why the Liberal establishment is afraid of him:

"Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience, above all liberties."

And why they must eliminate him from the curriculum:

'The superior man acquaints himself with many sayings of antiquity and many deeds of the past, in order to strengthen his character thereby."




There is much to be learned from white poets.

I just love how competitive the Oppression Olympics have become. And every new perceived grievance is taken dead fucking serious. I'm willing to bet whoever decided to be offended by white male authors cannot discuss the matter without getting spitting mad.

It's comical. Don't take these people seriously, and stop giving them attention.
