Ignorant Bigot Emily Dawes Issues Insincere Apology and Deletes Twitter Account

Emily Dawes who called for the destruction of the Rothenstein Mural at Southampton University has issued an insincere apology and deleted her twitter account.

Here is her "apology" as per Guido Fawkes:

It is not genuine because, as you see, she linked the proposed vandalism to Armistice Day!

The insincere apology and deletion of her Twitter account is not enough, she should resign.

Here is the petition to sack her.

Nanny Bans The Rothenstein Mural

The Rothenstein Mural was painted in 1916 as a memorial to members of the British universities serving in the Great War.

Painted in 1916 by Sir William Rothenstein, former Principal of the Royal College of Art, and measuring approximately 10ft X 40ft, the mural was first displayed at the 11th Exhibition of the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society at the Royal Academy in the autumn of 1916.

It depicts an academic procession and the conferring of a degree on an ‘unknown soldier' undergraduate by the then Chancellor of Cambridge University.

Presented to the University of Southampton in 1959, by the artist's son, Sir John Rothenstein, the work represents a unique piece of art history. It features many key academics from the era of the Great War, including Vice-Chancellors and Chancellors, and the Poet Laureate Robert Bridges.
In his book "Men and Memories", Sir William Rothenstein told how the idea for the mural came to him. He called it "The New Chivalry":

"I happened to be at Oxford where I witnessed the conferring of degrees . . . The sight of a number of youths, booted and spurred, with their gowns over their khaki, kneeling before the Chancellor to receive their degrees, put me in mind of the age of chivalry, so touching and beautiful were these young figures; and I thought what a fine subject for a memorial painting this would make . . . I therefore painted a group of representative figures, Vice-Chancellors, scholars and men of science surrounding a Chancellor conferring a degree upon a young soldier."

The mural currently hangs in the Senate Room of the University of Southampton.

Unfortunately certain ignorant people don't like it, because it shows white people.

Step forward Emily Dawes President of the Union:

Mark my words - we're taking down the mural of white men in the uni Senate room, even if I have to paint over it myself

Snowflakes Ban Plato

Oh dear, I see that so called "higher education" is attracting more and more intolerant idiots.

The student snowflake union at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) has got its collective knickers in a twist over the contents of of courses that deal with philosophy. It seems that that figures such as Plato, Descartes and Immanuel Kant are offensive to the snowflakes.

For why?

Coz they is white!


The snowflakes in the union insist that when studying philosophy “the majority of philosophers on our courses” should be from Africa and Asia.

The snowflakes claim this is part of their wider campaign to “decolonise” the university, as it seeks to “address the structural and epistemological legacy of colonialism”.

Unsurprisingly, more intelligent people have think that this is bollocks. Sir Roger Scruton, the philosopher, said the demands suggest “ignorance”.

He is quoted by the Telegraph:

“You can't rule out a whole area of intellectual endeavour without having investigated it and clearly they haven't investigated what they mean by white philosophy.

If they think there is a colonial context from which Kant's Critique of Pure Reason arose, I would like to hear it."

Unfortunately, Sir Roger's reasoning may well be ignored, even so called "educated" people (or those who seek to be "educated") can be remarkably bigoted and cretinous.

Oh and by the way, in 2014 Nathan P. Gilmour (Associate Professor of English and Composition Culture Director, Emmanuel College Cambridge) wrote an article pointing out that Plato was not in fact "white".

"That’s what’s insidious about declaring Plato “White” too easily: such a move threatens to obscure the contingency of history, in which the man Plato was not “White” because that term takes its twenty-first-century meaning not from skin-coloring but from a centuries-long (but not THAT many centuries!) narrative of Capitalist-formed human slavery, nationalist-based empire-building, and–I grant this point–attempts to co-opt texts like those of Homer and Euripides and Plato as parts of a “Western Canon,” a movement that claims them as part of a project of “civilization” undeniably tied up in the story of how northern and western Europeans became “White” as opposed to the Asian and African and American tribes over whom they won military supremacy."

Maybe the snowflakes should read that first beofre unleashing their 21st century prejudices on a long dead philosopher.
