Oxford music professors suggest scrapping sheet music from curriculum, say it's complicit in ‘white supremacy’

Staff members within the University of Oxford’s music department have reportedly suggested removing sheet music from the school’s curriculum because of its supposed connections to a "colonial past."

Professors said that music notation has not "shaken off its connection to its colonial past" and that sticking with it would be a "slap in the face" for students of color, according to documents reviewed by the British outlet The Telegraph.

The same faculty also reportedly questioned whether the current curriculum was complicit in "white supremacy," pointing to the program’s focus on "white European music from the slave period" – composers like Mozart and Beethoven.

The professors further suggested that certain classical music skills – like playing the piano and conducting orchestral arrangements – ought not to be required given that they "structurally center white European music" and cause "students of color great distress."

The faculty members said the curriculum should broaden its music offerings with studies like "African and African Diasporic Musics," "Global Musics," and "Popular Musics."

Oxford’s music curriculum already offers non-Eurocentric course options, but the professors who proposed these changes said the school’s nearly "all-white faculty" gives "privilege to white musicians" by default.

The proposed changes appeared to have driven in response to the Black Lives Matter movement.

"Arising from international Black Lives Matter demonstrations, the Faculty Board proposed making changes to enhance the diversity of the undergraduate curriculum."

Fox News has reached out to Oxford University’s music department with a request for comment on the proposed changes.

Why should it be considered an anomaly that a European university would teach music in the European tradition? Or that its faculty should be predominantly of European extraction? It is completely facile to define a 'slave period', and a post-'slave period', in music. It looks instead that, rather than the music curriculum being 'decolonized' (to use a fashionable PC term), it is being rapidly colonized by the modish American strain of academic thought influenced by 'critical theory' that simpering British academics have enthusiastically adopted. They have even adopted the in-fashion term 'white supremacy', which is an obviously Amerocentric idea that makes absolutely no sense when applied to the internal history of European nations.

Britain is undergoing China's Cultural Revolution in reverse.

Wow that sheet music ban is bordering on the insane.


Thought this quote from George might be relevant:


“The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history."

George Orwell


Also liked this one from the other George:

Let's just cut to the chase. Today I will publicly vilify myself for being an old crabby white man. Tomorrow I will go on an apology tour for my insensitivity toward crabby old white men.

Oh, forgot. Nobody cares about crabby old white men.

Some may believe that they deserve their own thread but I beg to differ.

I'm talking about Ginger and the whinger aka Smegan Darkle and her lap dog Hairy Butsor. They make me puke my boots.

These two are a shining example of what is wrong in the world. Tucker from fox news made a very good point about the powerful fiegning weakness to silence those below them and this angers me greatly as it has a cowardice in its belly.

Hairy is an ugly pubic headed hand shaker and has a job ! Chief impact officer, pointless and also hilarious that divvy bollocks doesn't even feel the smoke being blown up his arse any longer. Utter embarrassment to the a nation and if I had the power I'd strip them of what they are using to swell their already huge wealth.

Remember these two telling us to fly less and then took a private jet straight after, yes it's this behaviour that infuriated and ignited the fire. Everything before was gravy and then the lies come from her who lives in Narnia with her own truths. The media here were pro Smeg and Hairy and I had no feeling either way but boy oh boy they are right up there and Piers Morgan has risen in my estimations by doubling down and seeking names as proof of this mistreatment they claim while living in a eleven million dollar mansion that has been given to them.

I would strip and flog them while in the stocks.

This just about takes the biscuit.

I do hope this isn't real as it is becoming perverse. I'm struggling to find a different reason for this other than to hijack history and blur our future memory of the facts.

I'm literally sick of all this and it has now pushed me further away from where they would like me. I'm sure I'm not alone on that one.

Lizzy 1st was dual nationality and heavily into hiphop, Walsingham played guitar and Cecil was a human beat box.

Imaging Mel Gibson as Kunta Kinte trying to get back to his roots if you will and just how well that would go down.

The reason the Family Guy actor quits so Cleveland role can go to 'person of colour'. So shouldn't Anne Boleyn's role go to a white woman? The discrepancy shows that so-called PC is not about fairness, but about a propaganda agenda that is not shy about rewriting history. Note that in addition to racial misrepresentation, the very biography and history of the woman is being reconceptualized.

Truthiness used to be a theme in comedy, but now it is being applied to history.

I think it was Trevor Noah who had a very funny, very thoughtful skit about why James Bond should not be played by a black man.

I wish those two shameless slugs would set up camp somewhere else besides America, we got enough drama and problems disgracing our country presently without them muddying the waters with their nonsense...
