"...CSU's online Inclusive Language Guide, compiled by the school’s Inclusive Communications Task Force, lists certain words and phrases to avoid while providing replacements in an effort to help “communicators practice inclusive language and [help] everyone on [its] campus feel welcomed, respected, and valued.” The school's Women and Gender Collaborative website directly links to the document...."

lulz what a dilemma for them.

"Colorado State University claims that “American” is a non-inclusive word that should be avoided."

This is actually a true statement - now more than ever. Considering the 100's of thousands of Afghani's, Hatians and other South of the Border migrants who are not actually Americans, but are here now, it is sorta true.

You forgot Democrats.

So, does this mean the Dweezils and Moonunits of CSU won't be accepting an invitation to the "non-inclusively" named American Athletic Conference?

I wonder if they'll demand we rename it the "nationality-neutral, inclusive athletic conference" or some other ridiculous bullshite?

Dang, thought this was about conference realignment.

"In terms of communication methods (articles, social media, etc.), we very rarely need to identify or know a person’s biological sex and more often are referring to gender.”
Can we stop listing preferred pro-nouns then?

"Aaron Allen, who is a third-year student at CSU, also reacted to the "guidelines," telling Campus Reform, "what about the term 'African-American'? Should I not use that term to describe myself?"

"Words like 'American,' 'male,' and 'female' are used every day by billions of people around the world. When these students graduate, they're in for a rude awakening!"

"Homosexual: Because of the clinical history of the word "homosexual"
Clinical history w/ the word homophobia.

It is interesting tho how many phrases we use today come from the slavery period.....

"Colleges don't indoctrinate."

LMFAO

CSU may get an invite to the PAC if they keep this up.

You are bad……..

Why use the word "Colorado" then? It makes Idahoans feel bad about themselves.

University Threatens Action Against Students For ‘Pronoun Misuse’

Quote:Point Park University in Pittsburgh is threatening to take disciplinary action against students who don’t use their classmates’ preferred pronouns.

According to an email obtained by Campus Reform, the school’s Office of Equity and Inclusion notified students that “any individual who has been informed of another person’s gender identity, pronouns, or chosen name is expected to respect that individual” and that “misgendering, continued misuse of an individual’s pronouns, or using an individual’s deadname after being informed of a chosen name could result in a violation of the Policy on Discrimination and Harassment for gender-based discrimination.”

“While the University recognizes the aspect of intent versus impact, we must recognize that regardless of the intent, if an individual is impacted in a harmful way, action could be taken if a complaint is filed,” it added.

The email also included a link to the university’s “Pronouns and Inclusive Language Guide,” which warns students that “using language that assumes another person’s gender or pronouns or generalizing an entire group can be harmful and cause trans and gender non-conforming folks to feel isolated.”

Written by a former student, the manual gives students a list of “gender inclusive language” to use when talking to groups or strangers, such as replacing “boyfriend/girlfriend” with “partner,” and “men/women” with “all people/all genders,” among others.

When asked for comment on the situation, Point Park University’s Student Government President Dennis McDermott told Campus Reform that he did not know the “exact details of the policy.”

“I would imagine any violation (in this case misgendering, misuse of pronouns, or incorrectly using someone’s deadname when you are aware of their preferred name and pronouns) would result in a similar action to any act of discrimination against students on campus,” he said. “I, of course, respect the beliefs of others and their right to express those beliefs, but those beliefs, no matter what they are, cannot impede or harm the rights of others, in this case the right of a student to be respected in their use of their preferred name and pronouns.”

“This is a fundamental belief not only I and Point Park University share (imagine that), but also the United States Constitution asserts,” he added.

Dang, beat me to it. It has to make out of state and international students feel lesser than in state students. It borders on violence.

I swear, if I was at one of the places that forced people to use pronouns I would list mine as "Jesus Christ is Lord".

To be fair this was a suggestion by CSU's gender studies department, not a university policy. Every secular university will have this b.s. in the liberal arts.
