Professors threaten bad grades for saying ‘illegal alien,’ ‘male,’ ‘female’
"Multiple professors at Washington State University have explicitly told students their grades will suffer if they use terms such as “illegal alien,” "male," and “female,” or if they fail to “defer” to non-white students."

How about wetback?

Seriously, I fucking hate worthless liberals like this. Instead of tackling real issues like (extreme) income inequality and actual racism, they force their warped world views on impressionable 18-22 year olds.

At my daughter's Western orientation the leader introduced her/itself by saying My name is (I forget the name) and I identify myself as gender neutral.
I'm going to miss going into Ferdinands at WSU asking "Does Cuoger Gold make a soy or almond cheese?" or the last time "Do you have a soy ice cream because I don't like licking a cow's frozen breast milk."
Ah now I get to look forward to Dad's weekend at a quiddich game. FYFMFE -
According to the syllabus for Selena Lester Breikss’ “Women & Popular Culture” class, students risk a failing grade if they use any common descriptors that Breikss considers “oppressive and hateful language.”
Wow, male and female are hateful? Fuck her. -
What the fuck did you say about me, you cis white boy? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in gender studies, and I've been involved in numerous public raids on reddit, and I have banned over 300 misogynist shits. I am trained in not citing my sources and I'm the top land whale in the entire Tumblr army. You're nothing to me but another trigger. I will ban you the fuck out with butthurt the likes of which have never been seen on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with calling me a shitlord over the Internet? Think again, cis white boy. As we speak I'm contacting my secret network of landwhales all over #stopgamergate and your account is being rustled right now so you better prepare your jimmies, sexist pig. The media will biasly slander out the pathetic little thing you call a gender. You're fucking dead, rapist. I can be anywhere, anytime, and kill you with my massive fat folds, and that's just with my bare keyboard. Not only am I extensively trained in being triggered, I have access to the entire arsenal of Tumblr, and I will use it to its full extent to send death threats to your family all over the fucking Internet, fucking patriarchal bitch. If only you could have know what raging hormone filled butthurt your little "clever" comment was about to bring down on you, maybe you would have circumcised yourself. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn PTSD inducing troll. I will shitpost all over you and you will choke on your own injustice. You're fucking dead, cis boy.

They are looking for new material to be outrage about.

I see a lawsuit coming:
A) Students who unintentionally (or intentionally) fail to follow these professors' arbitrary rules receive lesser grades than they could've and they / parents are pissed so they sue.
Freedom of speech advocates sue, detailing that banning words which are not considered hate speech is an infringement upon the 1st amendment.
C) A state think-tank or foundation sues because the state government is providing aid (tax revenues) to a state institution that is restricting taxpayers' rights (parents' children).DerekJohnson said:campusreform.org/?ID=6770

I doubt it. If a student signs of up for a gender studies course, they will be expected demonstrate that they understand the material -- and part of the material taught in a gender studies class is how the English language could be gender neutral.HFNY said:I see a lawsuit coming:

Your idea would be similar to a guy signing up for a French class and crying that he can't answer the questions in English.
If students don't want to learn French, don't take a French class.
If they don't want to learn the current thought in gender studies, then don't take a gender studies course. -
Who cares what dykes and faggots in a gender studies class have to do? They took gender studies willingly. They are already fucked in life.

Here's all I really need to know about gender/race studies:

WSU? More like White Supremacist University, smdh.

But restricting the language does reveal an inherent refusal to allow for rational discourse in the classroom and is offensive to the very idea of a university. The teacher should try to convince the students through rational arguments, not threaten them with lower grades. It is shameful that this person is teaching at a university.OZONE said:

I'm not saying the story is b.s., because all this seems very plausible nowadays, but upon a closer examination, the writer is a college sophomore... It seems like one of those right wing sites designed to outrage us (it worked).

As @Hippopeteamus said,
"But restricting the language does reveal an inherent refusal to allow for rational discourse in the classroom and is offensive to the very idea of a university. The teacher should try to convince the students through rational arguments, not threaten them with lower grades. It is shameful that this person is teaching at a university."
Furthermore, one could also argue that these professorsFS are starting a slippery slope towards these type of crap standards permeating the rest of the University and becoming the norm?
On the flip-side, what if a professor said you cannot use the terms "undocumented immigrant" or "migrant worker" and must use the term "illegal alien" in their class? What do you think the Loony Left would do, sit idly on their hands?RoadDawg55 said:

Public statement from WSU regarding syllabi issue
August 31, 2015
PULLMAN, Wash. – Washington State University deeply values the tenets of freedom of expression for every member of our community, including all students, faculty and staff. Those First Amendment rights are reinforced in our policies, procedures and practices. Open dialogue, vigorous debate and the free exchange of ideas, as well as the language used to convey these ideas, are at the core of who we are as a higher education institution.
Over the weekend, we became aware that some faculty members, in the interest of fostering a constructive climate for discussion, included language in class syllabi that has been interpreted as abridging students’ free speech rights. We are working with these faculty members to clarify, and in some cases modify, course policies to ensure that students’ free speech rights are recognized and protected. No student will have points docked merely as a result of using terms that may be deemed offensive to some. Blanket restriction of the use of certain terms is not consistent with the values upon which this university is founded.
Free speech and a constructive climate for learning are not incompatible. We aim to cultivate diversity of expression while protecting individual rights and safety.
To this end, we are asking all faculty members to take a moment to review their course policies to ensure that students’ right to freedom of expression is protected along with a safe and productive learning environment. -
