This kind of nonsense just plays into fascists' hands! - USC says the word "field" is racist - https://www.npr.org/2023/01/14/1148470571/usc-office-removes-field-from-curriculum-racist
@lauren Warfare is racist now?
(Okay, so sometimes probably *yes* but given the term's origins referring to "Applying theoretical knowledge in the field of battle" dating back to the 1400s, I'm finding it challenging to grasp where the racism comes in.)
If anything, changing for the reasons cited by the NPR report seems to support the idea that field work is "worse," which is the opposite of pedagogy (not to mention, y'know... Maybe a little racist!).
