Princeton Removes Greek, Latin for Classics Majors to Combat Racism

May 31, 2021

Princeton University decided recently to remove Greek and Latin for Classics majors to combat – what it called- institutional racism.

Faculty members approved changes to the Classics department, including eliminating the “classics” track, which required an intermediate proficiency in Greek or Latin to enter the concentration, according to Princeton Alumni Weekly. The requirement for students to take Greek or Latin was also removed.

A diversity and equity statement on the department’s site says that the “history of our own department bears witness to the place of Classics in the long arc of systemic racism.”

This can not be happening...

[Rafael Passoni]

I don't understand what Greek and Latin have to do with racism.

[PlattitüdenPaule]

I don't understand what Greek and Latin have to do with racism.

Both are prime examples for classic European languages, that`s reason enough for these pieces of genetical garbage to ban them. Next thing will be, that they won`t be a requirement for studying medicine and christian theology, as both traditionaly use latin and greek as their scientific languages. (everything will simply be kept in english and maybe afterwards in arabic or some clicking sounds)

[Zeno]

As a Greek myself, I pity them.

There's just no way for them to understand Greek and Latin literature without learning the languages.

Why do they insist on reminding me every day that European is superior?

I never considered this shit, but now every day I am aware of white superiority in absolutely everything

Every day I appreciate more the achievements of the white race and of the Europeans.

Strange way to fight racism.
