Pity that to everyone else, they look like clueless idiots. From FOX News:

Oxford music professors deem sheet music 'colonialist,' say curriculum needs to be 'decolonized'
Staff members within the University of Oxford’s music department have deemed sheet music "colonialist" and have suggested ways to "decolonize" the curriculum.

Professors said that music notation has not "shaken off its connection to its colonial past" and that not rebranding it would be a "slap in the face" for students of color, according to documents reviewed by the British outlet The Telegraph.

The story at The Telegraph is behind a pop-up that I cannot clear. It says that I am running an ad blocker but I am not. I am running this HOSTS file which is kinda the same but much much better. You should look at it yourself. Speeds up browsing a lot. Anyway...

The same faculty also reportedly questioned whether the current curriculum was complicit in "white supremacy," pointing to the program’s focus on "white European music from the slave period" – composers like Mozart and Beethoven.

Good God. Unreal. More:

The faculty members said the curriculum should broaden its music offerings with studies like "African and African Diasporic Musics," "Global Musics," and "Popular Musics."

Oxford’s music curriculum already offers non-Eurocentric course options, but the professors who proposed these changes said the school’s nearly "all-white faculty" gives "privilege to white musicians" by default.

The proposed changes appeared to have driven in response to the Black Lives Matter movement.

In other words, the Bitter Little Marxists are trying to force their reach into the institutions. Pollute the next generation's ability to think clearly. Someone needs to call Campus Security.
