"If you use a single standard to grade your students’ languaging, you engage in racism,” says Asao Inoue, a prominent Professor of Rhetoric.
Academics believe him. Education journals publish his ideas.
U.S. News credits him for professors ditching traditional grading.
Inoue calls himself a “Marxian.” Few such professors will talk to me. Here is a rare debate about what’s actually being taught in college classrooms.

    I gave Asao the benefit of the doubt and went all through the video. There indeed seems something wholly wrong in what he is saying. I am going to have to agree, he does seem like a joke to me as well. US may indeed have no official language, but English is still the most widely used, and therefore, good skills at this language are important. This will go down a very bad route, if we take this kind of stuff seriously. It would get really bad.

Our numbers have fallen quite a bit as it is, but have been severely propped up by Chinese, Indian, Vietnamese, Nigerian, and many other extremely intelligent and hard working legal immigrants whose children give our overall education levels a boost in terms of worldwide comparison. Actual native white, black and Hispanic populations have been plummeting for decades and show no sign of slowing down.

    Learning other languages is good, yet English is the language of the United States citizenry, and it is not ridiculous to mandate the students to learn it and try to master it. Of course mathematics, science, and history are also important. Sports is not academic and should not be held to any esteem by schools. That physical education is valuable pales in value in comparison, unfortunately many schools emphasize it over scholastic endeavors. Those schools administrators who place the emphasis on athletics are proving themselves unworthy of managing the schools, and the schools employing them should not be receiving any Federal or State tax dollars, but should be penalizing them instead.

I was faltering out of consciousness during class and he snapped at me and told me to leave class for the day because we can't have uninformed and unprepared EMTs in the field. Im glad he had no compassion for it. Because I tried my hardest to stay awake despite my job not being very accommodating. I studied my ass off on lessons I didnt fully grasp and ended up near the top of my class because of it and EARNED my liscense the same as every other compotent and STANDARD EMT has. My favorite class I ever took and glad I did it. Also on the marxist point instead of anti-standard BS. If capitalism is so corrupt because the government has a lot of power (at least in the current US crony capitalism system) what makes him think giving the state ALL the power would be better?

People who only look for victimhood and someone to care for them due to the results of their own ignorance and life choices. This “professor” is an abettor of educationists malfeasance in universities and the government schools.

    He's dead wrong on honors classes. I went to a private school that had no honors classes and that had no expanded curriculum for me. I started there in fourth grade and tested into eighth-grade reading and math. The school only went to eighth. I basically sat in those classes for four years tutoring and waiting for the rest of my classmates to catch up. When I switched to a public school in high school, I was able to do honors classes, but was behind where I could have been taking calculus because I'd been held back by my prior school. Instead, I had juniors in the trigonometry/analytic geometry class I was taking as a senior. In the end, no one benefits from any of that.

    I was fortunate, and so was my older brother, as we were skipped ahead a grade when we showed we were capable of the higher grade level. And someone who started school there at the same grade as my brother was left behind twice and graduated a year later than I did. And that allowed the more advanced and less advanced students to progress at a rate that was more suited to their abilities.

    His argument is almost that it is the honors students' job to teach low-performing students, not the teachers' job. I'm sure that honors kids would help some other students some of the time if they were all in the same class, but that is hardly reason to abolish honors classes, especially given the benefits of honors classes to good students. Also, you could make the opposite argument, that combining honors students and low-performing students will lead to resentment on the part of both groups, making them both worse off.

    For me it was the opposite. I tested in middle school to qualify for advanced math which I was denied for some reason. Up until the junior year of high school I couldn't pick my math class and I spent that time goofing around with my buddies in class. If anything, I think it was a detriment to their learning having me there. Once I had the opportunity I took trig and precalculus at the same time and stopped distracting others since I had to focus myself.

    Not only that, but nearly all current language is just a small distance away from standard English. Some subcultures use a lot of slang terms, or pronounce things different. The standard English, is that which keep things consistent. Do away with that, and nothing good will come of it. It just creates confusion (which is probably exactly what these types of people want).

Technology is vital to survive in today's environment, whether you want to have a well-paid job or successfully run a business. So a well-rounded education (which you no longer get in most Colleges, let alone High Schools) should be really everyone's goal.

    It takes effort to keep up with writing standards. One reason you do it is so that you can effectively express yourself. Having a large vocabulary enables people to express what they are thinking in a very granular way. These Marxist idiots don't want anybody to express themselves property. You see what they advocate, which is essentially ghetto street talk--the most infantile way to express yourself. That in itself is a mental prison.

He is being racist by calling black people too stupid to learn standard English, while in the same breath calling people who want to help black people learn these things 'racist' simply for having high expectations of them. Which those people are having no trouble at all meeting by the way. English is easy. Anyone who wants to learn it can learn it, especially if they have teachers who work hard to help them meet high standards of excellence. The whole idea that black people are somehow less intelligent than white people is outrageous. And it's the idea this 'professor' is pushing, although he tries to hide it.

    The general education of our youth is based inside of many constructs that allow for us to gauge the students’ knowledge of those concepts (both factual and theoretical) while also encouraging them to look at them from outside perspectives to push forward our knowledge as a society. In the past few decades (and at an accelerating pace) we have allowed our educational institutions and their teachers to believe that creating alternate, combative constructs is a valid path toward properly educating our future generations. This man has not only been allowed to deconstruct the basic elements of our communication structure, but he is lauded as a pivotal voice to his peers.
