Major UK university to remove term 'Anglo-Saxon' to 'decolonize' curriculum
A major university in England is reportedly distancing itself from the term "Anglo-Saxon" out of concern it evokes an exclusive racial identity that could evoke nationalism.

British news outlet The Telegraph reported that the term "Anglo-Saxon" is under scrutiny at the University of Nottingham. "In a move to ‘decolonise the curriculum,’ professors have renamed a masters course in Viking and Anglo-Saxon Studies as Viking and Early Medieval English Studies," the outlet reported.
In addition, the same source also reported that a module within the program titled "Research Methods in Viking and Anglo-Saxon Studies" has had the "Anglo-Saxon" term removed in favor of "Early Medieval English." It also claimed that English literature module "A Tale of Seven Kingdoms: Anglo-Saxon and Viking-Age England from Bede to Alfred the Great" was also renamed "Early medieval England from Bede to Alfred the Great."
The Telegraph reported that "The move follows a pledge made in the wake of Black Lives Matter protests to decolonise the curriculum, a term denoting a move away from Western-centered material and the dominance of ‘White voices’ in academia."
Comment:
The Radical Left has a major hate and racism problem.
They are not the tolerant people who they profess to be.
The crazy left-wing racists might not like it but it's just a fact that England was settled by Anglo Saxons during the Middle Ages.
In fact, the world "England" is derived from the term "land of the Angles".
Erasing people from history is racism.
