So a group of students from the University of Cape Town (UCT) are driving a #ScienceMustFall campaign, the students are of the opinion that science must be decolonised. In the video a woman, part of a larger panel, addressing a group of people at the university says, “science is a product of Western modernity and the whole thing should be scratched off“.

The woman goes on to say that we have to, “restart science from an African perspective“, “from how we’ve experienced science“. Twitterverse is having none of it, #ScienceMustFall has become a comical trending topic.

Twitterverse

#Others eager to engage on #sciencemustfall hashtag because they used to fail all their science subjects back in high school
