Rutgers English Department to deemphasize traditional grammar 'in solidarity with Black Lives Matter

[Foolacious]

5. It's a lie. Please be more discerning.

I read the College Fix story, then read the very long memo that it cited on the Rutgers site. The memo does not say this. In fact, the only reference to the teaching of grammar is essentially the opposite of what College Fix -- a hard-right site -- says (original emphasis):

Incorporating “critical grammar” into our pedagogy. This approach challenges the familiar dogma that writing instruction should limit emphasis on grammar/sentence-level issues so as to not put students from multilingual, non-standard "academic" English backgrounds at a disadvantage. Instead, it encourages students to develop a critical awareness of the variety of choices available to them w/ regard to micro-level issues in order to empower them and equip them to push against biases based on "written" accents.
