student union's war on error
welcome to the steadfast anti-imperialist, anti-colonialist, anti-whateverist student union at my uni, soas. here is their latest campaign:
Against the “English-only” policy
This Union Notes:
The SOAS Student Union Clubs and Societies Guide states: “All publicity must be in English. This is to ensure that the Equal Opportunities Policy is adhered to, as all students at SOAS have a good standard of English.”
This Union Believes:
That this “English-only” rule has nothing to do with “equal opportunities” and everything to do with enforcing the so-called “war on terror” on campus. All students and staff should be allowed to read and distribute material in any language regardless of whether it is translated. The “war on terror” is a classic “divide and rule” ploy, stigmatizing Muslims as an excuse for a sweeping reduction in the legal rights of the entire population and a racist, imperialist “war” of military adventures abroad. The “war on terror” targets immigrants, minorities and ultimately the working class.
This Union Resolves:
To remove the Student Union guideline that all publicity be in English. To steadfastly oppose all “English-only” policies.
