Professor says grading system is racist, proposes labor-based system: 'White language supremacy'

An Arizona State University professor is calling for the end to “White supremacy language,” and to do away with the common way of grading papers in favor of labor-based grading

Inoue added that White supremacy culture "makes up the culture and normal practices of our classrooms and disciplines." To combat the issues, Inoue suggested implementing labor-based grading, which "redistributes power in ways that allow for more diverse habits of language to circulate." He has also coined the phrase, "Habits of White Language," used to describe the common way teachers and professors grade papers. 

Labor-based grading would mean weighing assignments based on how much "labor" students put into their work, and not assigning grades based on grammar or quality of work.
