869: Swamp of Crazy
University of Cape Town, Decolonizing Science and Safe Spaces
A video from the University of Cape Town shows students arguing that science is a product of "Western modernity" and should be "scratched off" in favor of African perspectives, such as the ability to strike people with lightning. When a student challenged the claim, the moderator demanded an apology for "disrespecting the sacredness of the space." Additionally, the University of Florida has established a 24/7 "Bias Education and Response Team" for offensive Halloween costumes.
