Stanford University has published an index of 'harmful language' that it wants to eliminate because the terms are 'ableist, ageist or racist' — including the word American — as it calls for US citizen to be used instead. The University revealed the plan in May, and wants to remove the words from its IT systems and websites, with grandfather, brave and master are also on the list. The Elimination of Harmful Language Initiative will also aim to educate people about the impact that 'racist, violent and biased' words have. It has listed 10 sections where 'harmful' language can occur under the headings:

Next they’ll say “US citizen” discriminates against non-citizens in the US. Why can’t we call people from Central or South America Central Americans and South Americans?

Picking at nits here, but when in blazes did “ableist” become a word? The entire program is absurd. Stanford should be ashamed of themselves.

Personally, I try to NOT use those trite idioms that Stanford is making an intentional attempt to ban. "White Paper" is one of those terms which really annoys me. I was asked to write some "White Papers" for our professional organization once. I think an academic institution SHOULD avoid using lame idioms .... like "killing two birds with one stone" (another annoying one).... We SHOULD use words properly.

Control the language and you control the people. The left has absolutely gone mad and want to drag the rest of us with them. If we are to be a free people, we must reject censorship. What makes these fools believe that they have the power to decide what words are or are not worthy to use? They will continue this power grab as long as we let them. I don’t know about you, but I am sick of this tyranny.

I see a 2-part solution to our current problems. 1st, we should all wear burkhas to hide our identity. This will immediately end racism and all types of prejudice because nobody will know who or what anybody is. Additionally, we need to burn all of our dictionaries because words no longer have any general acceptable meanings. So we should just shut up and become OneWorld government-endorsed equal UNITS working feverishly together to save the planet from one crisis after another. Don't ask any questions; don't look up. Vee vill tell you vhat vee vant you to know, weech ees nathseeng. Achtung.

Stanford published the index and the backlash was so severe that they have now taken it out of public circulation. But they will still try to enforce it. It only applies to students, faculty and administration at the school so the proper response from the rest of us is GFY.

Dear Stanford: I’m an “American” “grandfather” who lives in house with a lovely “master” bedroom. We call it the “Pocahontas” room because of the décor we selected – we call the den (my man cave) the “Chief” because I’m a fireman. We recently aborted a trip to Vermont – too many white women named “Karen” living there, making it confusing distinguishing one women from another. Instead, we visited my uncle in Abilene who greeted us with a hearty “Long time no see!” He’s a fine man, devoting his life to rescuing “child prostitutes” and saving them from “committing suicide.” His own child is a high achieving high school ”freshman”. His wife, is a second term “congresswoman.” Sadly, our family isn’t perfect, with some “black sheep” roaming idly, putting a “black mark” on our familial history. We just “pulled the trigger” on a canoe we’ll use on the lake that’s near the vacation home we just bought – “killing two birds with one stone” on a longtime dream we’ve had. I’d like to write more. But running out of “whitespace.” I’ll get back to you, soon.

included in the documents is American as a 'harmful language'. Just shut up and let people talk the way they want to, excluding foul language. The university left out foul language as 'harmful language'. Colleges and universities should be about education instead of making harmful speech lexicons.

President Joe Biden delivered a Christmas address on Thursday but did not speak the name of “Jesus” or “Christ.” “How silently, how silently, the wondrous gift is given,” Biden began, as he delivered his address to reporters at the White House. The president spoke about a “child” born on Christmas but did not speak the child’s name. “We look to the sky to a lone star, shining brighter than all the rest guiding us to the birth of a child, a child that Christians believe to be the Son of God,” he said. Biden also spoke several times about the “light” and “peace” at the heart of Christmas.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Thursday morning announced an agreement to advance the $1.7 trillion omnibus bill before Christmas weekend. Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Democrats have been working to pass the omnibus bill before a self-imposed deadline of Thursday to avoid a shutdown at midnight on Friday. But negotiations become sticky after Sen. Mike Lee’s (R-UT) Title 42 amendment threw a wrench in the Senate process. As a result, many critics of the deal were hopeful Congress would be forced to pass a short-term spending resolution (CR) to keep the government open, pending a continued standoff between Democrats on Lee’s amendment.

Why? Because they um, uh—because they want to? But wait, you say to yourself, that’s not possible; your tax returns are private by federal law, and therefore protected from release. The Dems of course found a sleazy way around that. The tax code allows the committee to look at people’s tax returns to provide “oversight” of the Internal Revenue Service, and by writing an official report on their findings,

They continued to hold that belief despite multiple audits of the former president over the years.

The US military may get woker. A new report has advised the US Marine Corps to no longer use “gendered terms” such as “Yes Sir or Yes Ma’am”. The new academic report stemmed from research conducted by the University of Pittsburgh that was directly commissioned by the Marine Corps. The report claims the Marine Corps is behind other branches of the military when it comes to using gender identifiers. The report also states the Army, Navy, and Coast Guard have, for the most part, gotten rid of gender identifiers such as “Sir” and “Ma’am” but instead address drill instructors by their rank and last name.
