发帖数: 61690 | 1 Using the words “American,” “obese,” “normal,” “mothering,” “
fathering,” “homosexual,” “illegal alien,” and “senior citizens,” is
offensive and should be discouraged, according to a “Bias-Free Language
Guide” posted on the University of New Hampshire website.
The guide, first uncovered by Campus Reform, “is meant to invite inclusive
excellence in [the] campus community.”
The word “American” is “problematic” according to the guide because it
“assumes the U.S. is the only country inside [the continents of North and
South America].”
Calling people “illegal aliens” is also politically incorrect, with the
preferred term for undocumented immigrants being “person seeking asylum,”
or “refugee,” while the word “foreigner” is discouraged and replaced
with “international people.”
More banned words and phrases include;
– “Caucasian (replaced with “European-American individuals”);
– “Mothering” and “fathering” (replaced with “parenting” and “
nurturing” so as to “avoid gendering a non-gendered activity”);
– “Homosexual” (replaced with “gay,” “lesbian,” “same gender loving
”);
– “Obese” or “overweight” (replaced with “people of size”);
– Saying a person is “poor” (replaced with “person who lacks advantages
that others have”);
– Saying the word “healthy” because it’s offensive to disabled people,
who can’t be called disabled, they must be called a “person who is
wheelchair mobile”).
“Terms also considered problematic include: “elders,” “senior citizen,”
“overweight” (which the guide says is “arbitrary”), “speech impediment
,” “dumb,” “sexual preference,” “manpower,” “freshmen,” “mailman,
” and “chairman,” in addition to many others,” writes Peter Hasson.
The guide also rails against “ciscentrism,” which “includes the lack of
gender-neutral restrooms, locker rooms, and residences” at the university.
To his credit, the president of the University of New Hampshire Mark
Huddleston responded to the story by asserting that the guide was not
official campus policy.
“I am troubled by many things in the language guide, especially the
suggestion that the use of the term ‘American’ is misplaced or offensive,
” he said. “The only UNH policy on speech is that it is free and
unfettered on our campuses. It is ironic that what was probably a well-
meaning effort to be ‘sensitive’ proves offensive to many people, myself
included.”
Meanwhile, Republican State Senator Jeb Bradley has vowed to take the guide
into consideration next time lawmakers decide how much money to give to the
university.
“Implying the word ‘American’ is not appropriate to use on campus is un-
American to say the least,” he said. “Will UNH next propose to change our
Live Free or Die motto to Live Free but Upset No-One?”
The University of New Hampshire is by no means the only educational
institution that is attempting to encourage censorious codes of political
correctness on campus that completely contradict the notion of universities
being bastions of free speech.
Earlier this month we reported on how the University of Wisconsin (Stevens
Point) was teaching faculty members that all manner of harmless behaviors
and phrases were examples of “racial microaggressions.”
The examples included; Asking someone where they are from or where they were
born, telling someone they speak good English, telling someone that you
have several black friends, saying that you’re not a racist, and
complimenting an Asian person by telling them they are very articulate. | d****o
