Stanford Locks Its 'Harmful Language' Website

townhall.com

Call yourself an “American”? Please don’t. Better to say “U.S. citizen,” per the bias hunters, lest you slight the rest of the Americas. “Immigrant” is also out, with “person who has immigrated” as the approved alternative. It’s the iron law of academic writing: Why use one word when four will do?

You can’t “master” your subject at Stanford any longer; in case you hadn’t heard, the school instructs that “historically, masters enslaved people.” And don’t dare design a “blind study,” which “unintentionally perpetuates that disability is somehow abnormal or negative, furthering an ableist culture.” Blind studies are good and useful, but never mind; “masked study” is to be preferred. Follow the science.

“Gangbusters” is banned because the index says it “invokes the notion of police action against ‘gangs’ in a positive light, which may have racial undertones.” Not to beat a dead horse (a phrase that the index says “normalizes violence against animals”), but you used to have to get a graduate degree in the humanities to write something that stupid.

After 60+ years of developing a fairly substantial vocabulary and how to use it properly they want me to stop. Not going to happen. As I am typing this "Bonanza" came on with a notice "This program contains outdated social expressions".

They took away the statues, now it is our language. F them all.

The worst one is "they/them" a person is not a they, a group of people can be "they/them" but not a singular person.

They all have schizophrenic MPD, so they are they individually.

I always laugh at the ones that give you all these warnings: This program contains nudity, violence, and smoking.

That's not a warning, that's a normal Friday night before the kids came along. Oh, and it wasn't really violent, just very, very loud and enthusiastic.

IQ tests and mastery of English should be a pre-requisite for being a judge.

And the Stanford IT department told them to shut up.

I'll go by my grandfather D'Orazio's admonition; "My parents gave up a lot to come to America to be Americans."
They had a farm in the hills above town, an olive grove, a woodlot, livestock, and a house in town.

Most of those folks stayed put. It was mostly those that had difficulty finding and keeping work that wanted to migrate back in the day.

Agreed, which was the case with most of my European ancestors.
