Oregon State University is hosting an antiracism conference this semester that will feature a professor who claims that “all grading and assessment exist within systems that uphold singular, dominant standards that are racist, and White supremacist when used uniformly.”
Asao Inoue , an Arizona State University professor who teaches first-year writing courses and works as associate dean for Academic Affairs, Equity, and Inclusion, will be a keynote speaker at “ Conference for Antiracist Teaching, Language and Assessment .”
As Campus Reform previously reported, Inoue wrote a book entitled Labor-Based Grading Contracts: Building Equity and Inclusion in the Compassionate Writing Classroom , in which he argues for a grading system independent of students’ merit.
“While the qualities of student writing is still at the center of the classroom and feedback, it has no bearing on the course grade,” Inoue told Campus Reform at the time. “Why take our judgments of quality out of the tabulation of course grades and progress in a course?”
“Grading, because it requires a single, dominant standard, is a racist and White supremacist practice,” he continues.
Inoue is not the only figure in academia making this argument.
Central Michigan University education professor Matthew Johnson , for instance, recently argued in the Chronicle of Higher Education that policies such as abandoning letter grades and eliminating due dates may be beneficial in light of COVID-19.

On attendance requirements, Johnson wrote that “linking grades to attendance was suspect prior to the pandemic and even more so now.” He continued by asking, “do your students really need to show up?”
Other keynote speakers at the Oregon State conference will deliver addresses related to Critical Race Theory and intersectionality.For instance, OSU rhetoric and writing professor Ana Milena Ribero will talk about “the principles of CRT pedagogy so that [attendees] too can implement them in their teaching.” Alexandria Lockett , an assistant professor of English at Spelman College, will speak about “Wikipedia Editing for Knowledge Equity.”In July, Oregon Governor Kate Brown passed a bill that would allow high school seniors without basic proficiency in math or reading to graduate.The legislation states that “a student may not be required to […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
