    Oxford University May Scrap Sheet Music for Being Complicit in ‘White Supremacy’

    Oxford University May Scrap Sheet Music for Being Complicit in ‘White Supremacy’

    The University of Oxford is considering proposals that would remove sheet music from its curriculum over woke claims that teaching the Western form of musical notation has roots in “colonialism” and “complicity in white supremacy”.

    In response to widespread Black Lives Matter protesters and riots last year in the United Kingdom, music educators at Oxford University have joined the wider iconoclastic movement which has been sweeping through British academia.

    In response to widespread Black Lives Matter protesters and riots last year in the United Kingdom, music educators at Oxford University have joined the wider iconoclastic movement which has been sweeping through British academia.


    The music department at the prestigious and ancient university has seen calls to remove music notation from the curriculum as professors seek to focus less on white European heritage and culture, according to documents seen by The Telegraph.


    The woke educators went on to claim that musical notation itself is a “colonialist representational system” that has “complicity to white supremacy”. The claim is similar to leftist pronouncements in America that mathematics is inherently racist.

    The Oxford academics went on to pronounce that teaching the piano or conducting orchestras could cause “students of colour great distress” as the skills involved are closely tied to “white European music”.

    OK let’s play along. What is the African alternative to sheet music? I’m waiting.


    If you are black/mooslim or other living in a country founded by white Europeans, and are offended by any custom/culture/language, just leave.

    No sheet music , no one gets to learn music. Apart from by ear, but you can hardly learn a Brahms Piano Concerto by ear.

    Morons.

    And as an ex guest-speaker (twice) at the Oxford Union and, as such, but a toy to them at the Oxford Union I used to look at their self-indulgent hypocrisy for what it was. It must have been a slow news week for them to even invite me.

    At least I got asked to a couple of in house, but informal college-dinners as a result
