British Movement SCOTLAND Asks; What Is Happening to Edinburgh University ?
Edinburgh University is one of the oldest universities in Britain and was founded over 400 years ago, so is a very important institution in British education.
The university has been a centre of learning for centuries with a reputation for having dominated landmark periods of learning such as the Scottish Enlightenment of the 18th Century with great thinkers and writers such as David Hume, Ferguson, Carlyle and many early 19th Century scientists.
But now such great minds are condemned as being the motivators behind 'white supremacy', British imperialism, colonial expansion and of course from profiting from the slave trade and overseas plantations and slave labour.
This new review at Edinburgh, “Decolonised Transformations: Confronting the University of Edinburgh’s History and Legacies of Enslavement and Colonisation” is an academic attempt to purge the university of its heritage and history and to re-set Edinburgh University as a beason of progressive liberal and cultural Marxist thinking.
Fiona McClement, co-leader of the Race Review response group, added: "Our aspiration is to be an anti-racist organisation. "We want to ensure that are a welcoming and nurturing environment in which all members of our community feel a sense of belonging, and can flourish and succeed without facing unjust racialised barriers."
Glasgow University and Dundee University are experiencing the 'Woke' hand-wringing and soul searching over possible historical funding of buildings in the 18th and 19th Century from possible links to trans-Atlantic slavery.
Plus this gem of liberal progressive social-justice :
" More recently, the University of Aberdeen repatriated a murdered Aboriginal man's remains, thought to have been obtained during a colonial conquest in Tasmania.
It is believed the young man was decapitated in the 1820s or 1830s - a time in Australia's history when colonisers used bounties to fuel a trade in tribes people's body parts."
FORGET DIVERSITY AND EQUALITY - JUST FOCUS ON QUALITY!
