Woke university dons slap trigger warning on 15th century text about St George and the dragon

He may have slain a dragon, but Saint George has proved to be no match for the woke warriors of academia. ‘It also contains instances of discriminatory language, particularly with reference to ethnicity and religion.’ Dons slapped a trigger warning on the heroic story of England’s patron saint. In the 11th Century, the story of how he killed a dragon to save a princess gained popularity Exam pupils tripped up by woke question Critics have expressed concern that the use of ‘gender neutral’ language in exam questions could confuse students and cost them marks. It then asks: ‘What is the probability that they exercise for at least one hour?’ In online forums, teachers and parents said pupils may have thought ‘they’ refers to the 35 students rather than one. Chris McGovern, chairman of the Campaign For Real Education, said: ‘Exam questions need to be unambiguous.’ AQA said ‘they’ had been used because it was grammatically correct, adding: ‘No schools have been in touch to say this question caused confusion.’ Students at the University of East Anglia are then told: ‘If you have concerns about any of the content… please feel free to discuss with your seminar tutor.’ The warning was slapped on The Legend Of St George, by the 15th Century monk and poet John Lydgate, which forms part of the Medieval Monstrosities module of the English Literature course.
