After 18 months of diligent work, this is what the quislings at this renowned institution have created. Sorry, couldn't find a direct link to the list, but here's the link to the pdf.

Only an ideologue professor (probably out of English Lit or, Linguistic Studies Dept) and a fanatic for a student aid, would take the time to compile this, then attempt to articulate and rationalize the whole thing. Layer that in with a feckless and cowardly department chair, who sign-off because they were fearful of 'going against the grain' or, are in full acceptance.

Already being discussed under Slurs in What is your Deal section.

That was dumb. What bunch of retards came up with this list anyways.

Oops

My bad

Let's not jump the gun here.

Wait a minute. Supposed to avoid "African American" and instead use "black"

that goes against previous guidance.

Stanford U Guide to avoid harmful language

They better not include FUCK.YOU. in that list. Otherwise, how is one to properly convey their feelings toward them?

Avoid academia and in doing so, avoid the NewSpeak.

Didn't this come out years ago? I feel certain we have already been outraged by this piece.

Published earlier this week.Maybe this was preceded by other equally ridiculous publications, not sure.

Okay these folks need to get a grip on a dictionary and find out facts before opening their mouths.

EX: A "black box" is called that because it shows up on a black and white drawing as a black box that in reality is bright orange.
It is not somehow the truth that the word "black" in front of the word "box" somehow is derogatory.

EX: saying "died by suicide" instead of "committed suicide". last time I looked suicide is taking your own life and is an action.

Thier list just proves that:
"stupid" = "STUPID" and not "boring or uncool"

I'm beginning to think that people who get SO hurt over word choices are either a) really thin-skinned, or b) just stink-stirrers, looking to crank up some drama.

These are Stanford Humanities profs. They have nothing else to do, and they need to publish something to survive.

So "Phillipines" is OK, but "Phillipine Islands" is not OK because it denotes colonialization?

Got it.

In a Professor Peterson video I recently watched he expressed the opinion that the current upper scholastic schools (i.e., beyond high school) are going to woke themselves to death, and that he thinks 80% will fail financially with five to seven years.

Meanwhile…

One wonders if Leland Stanford turns in his grave from the socio-political leanings of the university staff and students. If he is thinking - this university wasn’t created to have you idiots, Karen’s, traitors and tyrants here.

Somehow, "that bitch be crazy surprising/wild" just doesn't have the same impact. And I think saying "Good morning ladies everyone and gentlemen everyone" is just gonna cause confusion.

That is some of the silliest shit I have ever read. People can find offense in just about anything, if they try hard enough.

They better not include FUCK.YOU. in that list. Otherwise, how is one to properly convey their feelings toward them?

My sentiments exactly Q
