Ben Zeisloft – Campus Reform March 30, 2021
An Arizona State University academic wrote a book explaining why grading students’ work based on quality is “white supremacy.”
Asao Inoue — who teaches first-year writing courses and serves as associate dean for Academic Affairs, Equity, and Inclusion — wrote Labor-Based Grading Contracts: Building Equity and Inclusion in the Compassionate Writing Classroom, in which he advocates for a system of grading that circumvents merit.
Inoue — whose “research focuses on antiracist and social justice theory” — explains that his book discusses “grading literacy performances more broadly” — namely, by judging “final course grades purely by the labor students complete, not by any judgments of the quality of their writing.”
“While the qualities of student writing is still at the center of the classroom and feedback, it has no bearing on the course grade,” he explains. “Why take our judgments of quality out of the tabulation of course grades and progress in a course? Because all grading and assessment exist within systems that uphold singular, dominant standards that are racist, and White supremacist when used uniformly.”
“Grading, because it requires a single, dominant standard, is a racist and White supremacist practice,” he adds.
Inoue describes his labor-based system as a tool to enact his “social justice agenda” in his “classroom’s antiracist writing assessment ecologies.”
Inoue’s book contains 358 pages.
In more terse language, Inoue has recently made calls to “destroy grading.”
While responding to a question about “curricular changes” needed to “help our Black students develop positive racial identity,” Inoue said “gotta destroy grading, destroy the White habits of language that make all standards of language in classrooms, not to ignore them but to stop thinking they are THE keys to success and good communication, critical thinking, etc.”
In the past, Inoue has also critiqued the notion of meritocracy a “myth.”
MLK makes a beautiful critique of the "bootless" Black Americans and the myth of meritocracy. Wonderful. And yet, many folks today still cannot see the truth in this critique. https://t.co/43FTNSeMgs

Inoue confirmed to Campus Reform that he currently uses labor-based grading in his courses.

How any self-respecting White man or woman could have amything to do with such obvious nonsense is beyond my comprehension. It seems the only standard to be allowed these days is no standard.
Perhaps in the 100 m olympic sprint, being first across the line should not be the criterion for winning gold ?
Perhaps Inoue is a racist, full of hate for White people.
Excerpt from an article
“You are the problem . . . Your body perpetuates racism,” Dr. Asao Inoue told a group of his white colleagues earlier this year in his chair’s address at the 2019 Conference on College Composition and Communication held in Pittsburgh, titled “How Do We Language So People Stop Killing Each Other, Or What Do We Do About White Language Supremacy?”

The academic system in the USA just keeps getting sillier.
Yuri Bezmenov 4 Stages of Subversion. This is what’s happening right now. Sorry folks, we’re on stage 4 right now as can be seen in this post, which is nothing more than the black subversion of western civilization, changing OUR culture, to suit them.
Europeans have a high IQ, compared to blacks. They build civilizations. If they have a problem they use their IQ to fix it. ‘Necessity is the mother of invention’, as the saying goes, of course, not if you’re black that is. Parts of Africa still haven’t invented the wheel.
So…. here we have a classic example of BLATANT black on white racism, of course, being ignored by politicians, academia and the msm. And at the end of the article, there’s Twitter video of the fraud, charlatan, plagiarist and communist, MLK, who ignorantly states “white Americans have to understand that no other ethnicity has been a slave on American soil.” Yes, the dolt really said that. The Irish, the Scots and the indentured slaves are telling me to hold their beers. He also fails to see that whites are very successful in lands where their ancestors were slaves, which is just about everywhere. Again, blacks conveniently forget this.
You see, the jew uses persecution to maintain it’s victim status whereas the blacks use slavery. How anyone, could even contemplate that grading blacks is racist, proves their stupidity and ignorance and this from a Dean (proving blacks are only in positions of power, authority and influence because of racist, affirmative action/positive discrimination) who guaranteed, was certainly fast tracked into this position and never had to sit any exam as doing so, he’d have lost out to higher IQ, non black ethnicities.
It just angers the hell out of me that white people CANNOT see what’s going on! We are seeing black subversion of our culture and civilization. They are appropriating every aspect of our culture (while laughably accusing us of cultural appropriation – gaslighting, as if we actually want anything of their culture, whatever it is – robbery, rape, murder?)
Bottom line? Blacks have now proved their danger to whites and white civilization, even more in the last 20 years (not saying they weren’t before, certainly not). This, therefore, means that they, along with the jew, have to be removed and never, ever, ever, ever, ever allowed back into the west, even for tourism. Trust me, when you remove them from our civilization (every aspect – sporting competitions, trade, liason etc) you will see our civilization flourish. At the moment, with the black and jew in our society, we’re a rose, under deadly attack by sucker plants.
Nog Supremacism says that if they do not win in the test then the test has failed, not the nogs.
Its the Filthy Jew that is behind everything Evil. Prior to the creation of Apartheid Israel home to Parasites of the highest order Jews we’re kicked out of 115 countries world wide.
If Only Germany had exterminated every last Jew on earth we wouldn’t be in this amess, social media wouldn’t have been created.
Trust me if I had the means and capabilities aid waste every last parasitic Jew onnthe face of the earth, maybe I will who knows. But trust me they need to be exterminated ASAP before they exterminate the white man.
I often Wonder what Life would be like if Adolf Hitler had finished the job. I often think how different Britain would have been if WW1 would not have happend and the world for that fact.
Bibi Netanyahu wants a war in the ME or Europe. He is the seed of Satan. Russia should fully push back amd totally wipe the jew in Israel out. Iran should also Lob 10000 cruise missles or drop its Atmoic Bomb.
What an imbecilic a**hole this guy is. This deranged moron, Inoue, “associate dean for Academic Affairs, Equity, and Inclusion” vomits out, “Because all grading and assessment exist within systems that uphold singular, dominant standards that are racist, and White supremacist when used uniformly.” So this dangerous cretin is supposed to be a dean of “Equity” yet insists that standards applied uniformly and equally, i.e. everyone treated the same, is unfair, racist, and a menacing symbol of white supremacy? Umm, Professor, it seems to me you just insulted the non-whites you are so pathetically desperate to promote without merit.
Professor Dumbf*ck goes on to further illustrate his idiocy and agenda of degradation by espousing the way to help the cognitive underachievers is “by judging ‘final course grades purely by the labor students complete, not by any judgments of the quality'”. So he actually thinks that NOT holding students to any standard of quality of work will still promote those students to “labor” in the classroom anyway? Is this guy actually serious? Does he think kids from the hood are even going to show up if they’re not held to any standard?
Inuoe’s deranged agenda would do irreparable harm to generations of black and hispanic kids if ANY of his stunningly moronic and dangerous ideas are utilized.
If grading on quality is white supremacist, isn’t all college then racist?
When will such non-logic be applied to white wine, or does this learned scholar still put cream in black coffee? Does ASU have a sign that says: “Abandon hope, all you white people entering here”?
@Simon;
hehe, good one 🙂
yes ASU that´s good bringing western science down
to stoneage .you will reap what you sowed ! good.
tear down everything !
take all your pasenger cruising ships,
fill them with jews + blacks and send
them all to africa ! ONLY ONE MEAL A DAY !
@antisemit, bog off son. Blacks do not want Jews, they are the ones who brought us to the west and exploited us. You can keep them, after all they are white.
To laquan–Aryans do not want the Jews either. No-one does. The original ones had the IQ of most people at 30-odd degrees North, so they have a philosophy that came from dull-wittedness, but also the predatory nature they happen to have. They are criminals with not quite the intelligence to stay out of trouble (from justice). I will call them Semitic and foreign. “White” is their dismissive word for my people, and Black is their similar word for Africans. Instead of study and judgment they have the question “Is it a Jew?”, this useless blunt instrument.
@jaquan
with the blacks i meaned reay only those
which dont want integrate . contrary to
jews NOBODY can trust them since
atleast the lowest can be a Sayan for mossa !
