Newspeak is here: Professors threaten failing grade if students use the terms he or she and male or female

Sadly this is not just happening at one college in the Pacific Northwest as demands for “inclusive” wording, aka thought control, have been reported across the country from California to New Hampshire. Words such as American have even been deemed offensive.

 

Shockingly, (or perhaps not at this point) it isn’t just Marxist Professors who are attempting to control how their students speak, this push for full-scale cultural Marxist control is also coming from school administrators as a recent example out of Tennessee proves.

 

The Office of Diversity and Inclusion at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville recently published a guideline for students on how to be more inclusive (there’s that key word again) that also calls for students to cease using the completely normal pronouns he or she.

 

Commentary in the Daily Caller details how the guidelines, as well as similar ones throughout the country, have literally transferred 1984’s fantasy into reality.

 

As Fox News’s Todd Starnes reported, traditional pronouns like “he” and “she” will no longer cut it at UTK. Instead, collegians should use the “dozen” gender-neutral pronouns, according to the school’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion.

 

These alternatives include “ze,” “zhem” and “xyr.” Even though these words look more like the enunciations of a French movie villain, they’re now the recommended words for students wanting to be down with gender inclusion. Other ways to remain within the progressive tolerance sphere, according to the guide, is to ask every single person what name or pronoun they would like to be called before assigning them a harmful title.

 

“We should not assume someone’s gender by their appearance, nor by what is listed on a roster or in student information systems,” the UTK posting explained. “Transgender people and people who do not identify within the gender binary may use a different name than their legal name and pronouns of their gender identity, rather than the pronouns of the sex they were assigned at birth.”

 

We truly are living in a sort of Orwellian leftist nightmare when you have actual university’s demanding their students use words straight out of a science fiction movie such instead of he or she.
