Did you know that if a professor -- whose job supposedly is to teach --
corrects a student's grammar, he is being raaaaaacist?
Of course, the "someone" must be a "person of color" -- not just any color,
but a person of dark, i.e., "black," skin color.
The plain truth is that in today's America, under the sway of Leftwing
Tyranny, criticizing a person of color about ANYTHING is being racist.
That's what *Val Rust*, a professor emeritus of education and information
studies at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), discovered.

Robby Soave reports for *The Daily
Caller*<http://dailycaller.com/2013/11/26/prof-corrects-minority-students-capitalization-is-accused-of-racism/>,
Nov. 26, 2013, that members of an UCLA student group,* Call 2 Action:
Graduate Students of Color, *launched a sit-in protest against Professor
Rust because he had the temerity to -- GASP! -- correct the grammar,
punctuation and capitalization in "minority" students’ assignments.
According to Inside Higher
Education<http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2013/11/25/ucla-grad-students-stage-sit-during-class-protest-what-they-see-racially-hostile>,
some 25 students participated in the sit-in, including five of the 10
members of Professor Rust's class. The protesters wrote this statement to
the college:
“A hostile campus climate has been the norm for Students of Color in this
class throughout the quarter as our epistemological and methodological
commitments have been repeatedly questioned by our classmates and our
instructor. [The] barrage of questions by white colleagues and the grammar
‘lessons’ by the professor have contributed to a hostile class climate.”

As an example of Rust's egregious racism, Ph.D. student and sit-in
organizer *Kenjus Watson, *said the professor told one student that she
should not capitalize the word “indigenous” (as in "indigenous" or native
American) in her papers. Watson claimed the correction was "ideologically
motivated," whatever that means.
Rust, who was guest-lecturing in China at the time of the sit-in, sent a
letter to his colleagues in the education department,
saying<http://dailybruin.com/2013/11/20/students-defend-professor-after-sit-in-over-racial-climate/>
he
meant no offense to "minorities": “I have attempted to be rather thorough
on the papers and am particularly concerned that they do a good job with
their bibliographies and citations, and these students apparently don’t
feel that is appropriate."
Rust also apologized for making matters worse by not aggressively and
proactively taking the side of a "minority" student who was engaged in an
argument with a white female student. The minority student told the woman
that she had no right to feel oppressed, and Rust did not express agreement
either way.
Rust wrote:
“Two weeks ago a Student of Color and a white female student got into a big
discussion. She wants to use Standpoint Theory [a method of analysis coined
by feminist sociologist Dorothy Smith, based on the idea that all knowledge
is subjective and based on one's position in society] in her dissertation,
and the Student of Color told her she had no business claiming that she was
a member of an oppressed group. She came back saying there are all kinds of
oppression. I likely did not handle the situation well, because I chose not
to stop the discussion between them, so it went on for quite a while, and
the Students of Color apparently interpreted my silence to mean I wasn’t
supporting them.”
