Now fields are racist!

An office within the University of Southern California's School of Social Work says it is removing the term "field" from its curriculum because it may have racist connotations related to slavery.
“Language can be powerful, and phrases such as 'going into the field' or 'field work' may have connotations for descendants of slavery and immigrant workers that are not benign."

So you didn't even read the article you linked. I'm shocked, I tell you. Shocked to my core.

The "Office of Field Education" is now the "Office of Practicum Education". You have no idea why you're offended because you're not a smart person.

Ah yes . That term didn’t register with me. I have no problem with the term. They can call it Office of Learning in the Meadows for all I care.
I just think it’s silly to Noe consider field to be a rayciss word.
