Dozens of posters plastered across the University of Michigan caution students not to say things that might hurt others’ feelings, part of a new “Inclusive Language Campaign” at the state’s flagship public university that cost $16,000 to implement.Words declared unacceptable through the campaign include “crazy,” “insane,” “retarded,” “gay,” “tranny,” “gypped,” “illegal alien,” “fag,” “ghetto” and “raghead.” Phrases such as “I want to die” and “that test raped me” are also verboten.University spokesman Rick Fitzgerald told The College Fix in an email the campaign aims to “address campus climate by helping individuals understand that their words can impact someone and to encourage individuals to commit to creating a positive campus community.”
Students have been asked to sign a pledge to “use inclusive language” and to help their peers “understand the importance of using inclusive language,” according to campaign materials.
Though only in existence for one semester, the Inclusive Language Campaign has maintained a strong presence throughout the university. Students roaming the campus frequently encounter posters of all sizes reminding them: “YOUR WORDS MATTER,” and asking questions such as: “If you knew that I grew up in poverty, would you still call things ‘ghetto’ and ‘ratchet’?”
Representatives of the Inclusive Language Campaign did not respond to repeated requests for comment from The College Fix.Junior Kidada Malloy, who helps promote the program on campus, told the Michigan Daily the campaign “is a great program because it will improve the day-to-day language of students on campus by providing education around words that are offensive.”
Fitzgerald told The College Fix the university budgeted $16,000 for the campaign. The program comes at a time when the university has raised tuition and fees for the last two consecutive years.
The totalitarian intuitive gets implemented, it costs a huge amount of money, fees and tuition get increased, and then the Most Equal Comrade can further bellow about student loan debt.
The Freedom-Haters want control over what comes out of your mouth, what goes in your mouth, how warm your home is, and what kind of vehicle you drive. And they have no interest in keeping you safe from catastrophic attack.
We stop this now, or Western civilization is over.
Do it anyway. If enough people do it anyway, anyhow, whatever, even if they throw you in jail, do it anyway, if enough people do it anyway, even if they seize your property, won't give you a job, ruin your reputation, do it anyway. Do it anyway. If enough people do it anyway, these relentlessly marching jackboots will have to stop what they're doing, which is not letting you live your life, be who you are, they'll have to stop. It won't be easy. There will be many martyrs for the cause. Do it anyway. It's worked with marijuana. It's working for gays. Do it anyway!
ReplyDeleteBut at least it seemed that Nixon and Reagan were concerned about keeping us safe from catastrophic attack. That's why they picked on gooks and spics.
ReplyDeleteBoy, that's an awfully ethnically derogatory way to refer to the communists that those two presidents were combatting because they were communists.
ReplyDeleteRe: Do it anyway: Pretty good tactic, but you have to have a critical mass of the population on board. But, as you say, it's achieving wins for weed-heads and people with unconventional sex lives.
Say it, gooks, spics, say it, gooks, spics. And say it again. They fought back and we lost. We attacked them. They did not attack us. We never wore them down. They just did it anyway. Might get you dirty looks at UM, but, say it anyway, hey can they put you in jail or seize your property over it? Somebody might try to kick your ass though, lol. For that they can be hauled away though, and tried for assault and battery. At least in pre-America it was that way.
