USC office removes 'field' from its curriculum, citing possible racist connotations​

The newly renamed Office of Practicum Education, formerly known as the Office of Field Education, within the university's Suzanne-Dworak-Peck School of Social Work, is making the change in order to be more inclusive, according to a memo sent out to faculty and students this week and obtained by NPR.

"This change supports anti-racist social work practice by replacing language that could be considered anti-Black or anti-immigrant in favor of inclusive language,"
the memo reads. "Language can be powerful, and phrases such as 'going into the field' or 'field work' may have connotations for descendants of slavery and immigrant workers that are not benign." The change at the USC school comes as a growing number of entities take steps to remove terminology with ties to slavery or racism.

The change at the USC school comes as a growing number of entities take steps to remove terminology with ties to slavery or racism. Within the computer science field, some people are ditching terms like "master" and "slave," while the Girl Guides of Canada recently renamed its "Brownies" branch. And two offices within the Michigan health department announced this month that their employees will no longer use the term "field work," according to a memo obtained by NPR. Mildred Joyner, the president of National Association of Social Workers (NASW), said she applauds the USC office for its change — and while she isn't aware of other universities doing the same, she disagrees with those that say the office is going too far.
 
The New Word To Replace "Field" in the UC Campuses Is-Drum Roll.........“practicum,”
Remember to add this to your spell check and remove the word Field.

Next word to be banned is 'property'. We will no longer be able to use the term real estate property.

So a farmer will plow, plant, and harvest his practicum? Seems to lose something in the transition!

    My Woke Hole Hand Book Says The noun: practicum; plural noun: practicums
    1. a practical section of a course of study.

The Woke must be abolished its going way to far :)
 
I dont hate Bernie he is actually a very honest politician and says it the way he sees it. Thats something very few do. If it came down to him or HRC or Biden I would pull the lever for Bernie-because at least I know who he is and what he stands for.
I do like the medical care for all provision Bernie stands for. Most all civilized nations have healthcare that is not corrupt like the USA. I would vote for him alone if he could get that passed like most civilized nations have.

If we were healthier than other civilized nations per capita? I can see keep the current system.

The truth of the matter is we are not healthier per capita.
 
UC California Colleges just passed a rule the word "Field" is not to be used as it may conjure up images of plantations to Black Students- They have a new preferred word but I forget what it is. The Oppressive Woke just wont stop :)
WOW. Academia worried about a word while Rome burns all around us. I used to subscribe to The Economist a long time ago when I actually read about the world. I wonder if that magazine has ever written about the USA woke society, or is Europe equally affected???
