Spelling is a construct of the white patriarchy, and must therefore be ignored. Judging by recent adventures at the checkout counter, the same wokie criterion also applies to basic math.
Obviously you jest, but both those actually *are* arguments put forth explicitly by the Marxist academic radicals — that both spelling, and mathematics (as taught currently), are "oppressive" because they do not account for "other ways of knowing".
There is an entire rabbit hole of loony far left academics arguing that 2+2 = 5, because [insert "other ways of knowing" ...aka b*llsh*t I just made up right now, because I can't win this in argument based on merit].
On one level it's riotously funny. But it becomes a whole lot less funny when they're indoctrinating millions of kids with this stuff, annually. We are heading for a future where bridges regularly collapse, because: Equity.
We knew it was coming 😂
Referencing is a patriarchal, oppressive construct!
Expecting people to do their own academic work is academic colonialism!
...something, something White Supremacy!
LOL.
