Stop. You are only digging a bigger hole for yourself. If you don’t like Early Medieval England (which is not racist btw) then suggest something else as an alt to the actually racist phrase Anglo-Saxon.

Thing is, Early Medieval England isn't (as far as I'm aware) any more exclusionary than Anglo-Saxon. If it were being advertised as "British" (which it isn't) or "Insular" then yes, it would be erasing Celtic peoples. As it is, AS as a term also excludes Celtic peoples.

Of the two, Early Medieval England is ahistoric, but no more so than AS, and it doesn't carry the legacy of white supremacy to the same extent that AS does. It means teachers have to be careful to avoid suggesting England as a nation was inevitable, but that was already the case.

Early Medieval England (or something to that effect) is the least worst of the options in rebranding AS studies without erasing people. The renaming comes from a very real concern and a real danger to our peers and students.

Um, I think this is hugely problematic. It's not England. England didn't exist. Some parts of AS Britain are now in Scotland, and Lowland Scots is a language of Germanic/AS origin.

No one said it was perfect. Feel free to suggest alternatives that aren’t Anglo-Saxon then.
