British Movement SCOTLAND Asks; What Is Happening to Edinburgh University ?

 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.


There seems to be a clear ideological move towards cultural Marxism and progressive liberalism at Edinburgh University. As one of the oldest academic institutions in the United Kingdom it is a sad reflection on this ideological and politically motivated shift towards a regime dominated by 'White Guilt'.

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."

So they want Edinburgh University to be ~'an anti-racist organisation'.
What happened to it being the one of the oldest centres of learning in the UK with a focus on academic excellence?

And its not just Edinburgh University - check out the others keen to be seen as 'social justice warriors' for 'de-colonisation' and 'Diversity, Inclusion and Equality' champions.

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."

It is fascinating that if archaeologists and historians un earth some Pictish or ancient Roman remains these universities have no problem studying them or putting them on display.

FORGET DIVERSITY AND EQUALITY - JUST FOCUS ON QUALITY!
