#DisruptText

[Anonymous No.18944120]

Hello /lit/
I've just learned about the existance of this disgusting thing here
https://disrupttexts.org

As far as I've garnenered, it is a "movement" dedicated to "remove the focus" from "white" literature (such as the Odyssey, see pic related) to promote equity and "critical literature", i.e. removing them altogether because they are deemed "problematic".
It's just ... classical literature. Nothing more nothing less, I can't even make out any deliberate pattern of what they deem problematic. It's literally random.

It is completely fair if you shitpost me for this, but I am honestly at my breaking point.
Am I seeing this wrong or are these people who genuienly seem to celebrate the intellectual automutilation they're promoting with this?

> To Kill a mocking bird
Problematic, racist, should be removed

> Romeo and Juliet
Unhealthy relationship, needs to be crticially commented

> The great gatsby
makes people feel uncomfortable, should be removed

They're not even trying to hide it
http://www.hopeteague.com/podcast/2020/2/21/ep-65-throw-out-the-white-canon-disrupttexts

Just check out this twitter hashtag, too
https://twitter.com/hashtag/disrupttext?src=hashtag_click

Why are they doing this? What could they have to gain by removing humanities most important literature bit by bit?
Is there something I / you / one / we could do or is it just going to get even worse?

good, women can fuck off from reading the classics/greats and leave them to people who aren't idpol retards to find and enjoy through movements like ClassicalEducation instead
let them spend their entire lives in turmoil over the historic supremacy of the white man, it makes no difference to any of us
plenty of women who genuinely possess a level of intellect love classic literature and these kinds of women celebrating (on fucking twitter) the removal of books from curriculum were never going to appreciate them in the first place

I am a classics and biblical studies student. Although I think the tweeter is a retarded bitch, I don't think we should have the Odyssey be taught in high school. It is too risky. A high school teacher is likely to fuck it up and ruin the book for most students, causing them to never revisit the classics. They should get students' feet wet with smaller works and not chance ruining a work as great as the Odyssey.

I mean, the Odyssey is an incredibly old book that is part of American culture due to its roots in Europe. Most Western European culture has been at least touched by the ancient Greeks, so it isn't actually censorship or steering of American culture, it is actively discouraging diversity by removing American connection to ancient views.
>define "culture"
Bullshit, and you know it. Some people might use culture to allude to a system of power but that is clearly not the case here. Censorship of literature is in itself an expression of power, one that was heavily abused in the past and is being abused. As a third party who believes in public access to most knowledge, in part to diversify viewpoints and better educate them, this is awful.

If these people truly valued diversity they would not replace but add to curriculum, to further discussion and criticism, rather than hide the views and experiences of the past.

Why do you care what they do? Why are you at a breaking point? Are you a pussy? Man up. Reading has always been a solitary activity. Who cares what these idiots think. Getting upset does nothing. What's that going to accomplish? What's will your crying accomplish? Absolutely nothing.

Readers have always been in the minority. And readers of good books have been a minority in that minority. Don't ever think the bigger reading public will ever embrace more sophisticated books. They never will. Only thing you can do is read.

Although I always hope these people go after Shakespeare. He's not only the best writer in English, but he's also easily accessible to most readers. You can never remove him from the Canon unless you find a way to stop people from reading him. Direct attacks against him only weaken their own movement.

Ironically Shakespeare wrote plays and not books
Theater was what cinema is today, mass entertainment

This thread is a mess. I will say what compels me whenever I read some writing by one of these "disruptors" is how awkward and stuffy they come across in text, that sense of total, near religious conviction that they're involved in something important and that the kids in their classroom are going to grow up and shoot some unarmed black guy because they were never told not to. It is almost like the entire country was gaslighted into believing every police-related mishap occurred due to racism, and not just the simpler explanation that law enforcement is complicated in dangerous areas because everyone is strapped and sometimes mistakes happen. I just wish someone could prove to me Floyd died somehow due to racism and not just because some cop making an awful decision by pinning his neck for 10 minutes to subdue him. Remember the whole Daniel Shaver incident? That was easily the most fucked up thing of the past 10 years, but nobody cared because it was a white cop killing a white guy, and he wasn't even charged. The sad truth is no one really cares about police brutality as a concept, just police brutality as an excuse to call everyone evil racists. That's a pretty good way to make sure the issue never gets fixed.

God this is too funny. First, a complete lack of self-awareness.

>Four Core Principles to #DisruptTexts

And then an open admission that it's just astroturfing.

Penguin have obviously already sold all the copies of the Odyssey that they can to schools, and a new translation isn't going to cut it, so why not sell them Darius the Great is Not Okay instead.

This isn't a good thing imo. Yes, I'm an Eurofag but I actually don't try to dab on amerilards for once - once - when I'm saying that we've had stuff like that in our high school, lower levels even.
Maybe the teachers didn't used to be as shit as in current year 'Murcia, but it didn't "ruin" anything for me - and the couple of illiterates who dislike basic reading comprehension wouldn't have gotten into it either way.

If they can't teach the Odyssey then why even trust them to teach math? I would do away with public schools entirely but if we're going to happen we may as well make the best of it. There's no good in cutting students off from history entirely by acquiescing to anti-white political movements.

All I'm saying is that I'm glad I read Gilgamesh, Iliad, Odyssey, and Aeneid when I did and with whom I did, which was as a freshman in college in an epic poetry in translation course.

That's not all you said because if it was I wouldn't have said anything. You said they shouldn't be taught in high school and I'm telling you that's the exact same argument used to remove Greek and Latin from the curriculum.

It actually means your brain is dense as fuck, which metaphorically speaking is a fair insult, but scientifically speaking it means you are a genius.

So you're right for the wrong reasons.

classical literature is basically shit that yurofag aristocracy was coming over 1600s-early 1900s
now younger generations of the american upper class are heavily pulling for struggle lit by brown americans
why the fuck should we follow their lead for what we read to our kids in school?
what I'm saying is, fuck the classical curriculum, fuck liberal race obsessive curriculum too, read a wide variety of shit yourself and decide what you think the kids should be reading, instead of obsessing over their place on Harold the cuck's shitty list
