What happened? According to CNN Style, a number of British museums have stopped using the word "mummy" to describe the mummified remains of ancient Egyptians on display. "Person of Mummy." British universities now sticking trigger warnings on Shakespeare's plays, to warn the brittle little snowflake know-nothings that his tragedies might contain some death and, well, tragedy. The problem with universities overwhelmingly controlled by faculty on the left is that there are few to offer a dose of reality or rationality. Left to their own devices, some faculty seem to search for new ways to demonstrate woke priorities. British universities have long been ridiculed for policies controlling speech or symbols. Now, The Telegraph is reporting that British universities are adding trigger warnings to Greek and Shakespearean tragedies to protect students from being triggered by tragedy. Indeed, there are now warnings on other classics for everything from "ableism" to "depictions of rural life." The "ableism" warning concerns the Beowulf text's tendency to treat physical prowess and high intelligence as desirable traits. No, I'm not kidding, that's why it's got that label. Even the death of an albatross in "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" required a trigger warning at the University of Greenwich as "potentially upsetting." ![]()
