Colorado State University guide.
For example words that are non inclusive like America or Americans.
Or the phrase “rule of thumb” which is demeaning to women. Oh dang I can’t say women.

Just another attempt by liberals at revisionism. Nothing to see here.

The thing is, they are winning in this. They have captured the educational system and from the first grade on they pound these ridiculous ideas into our children.

Re: Words or phrases to avoid in writing or conversation
To be honest with you, I have no idea. I feel as though my time has passed and I am not liking the new times. About all I can do is to tell these people to "GET OFF MY GRASS".joe817 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 21, 2019 3:42 pmThe big question is: What can we do to turn this pollution of ideas that our children are being indoctrinated with, around?03Lightningrocks wrote: ↑Sun Jul 21, 2019 3:33 pmThe thing is, they are winning in this.

Teach your children to read and how to think logically. That is how they will learn to think for themselves and make rational decisions. The parents, not the teachers, are responsible for educating their children.joe817 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 21, 2019 3:42 pmThe big question is: What can we do to turn this pollution of ideas that our children are being indoctrinated with, around?03Lightningrocks wrote: ↑Sun Jul 21, 2019 3:33 pmThe thing is, they are winning in this.

Re: Words or phrases to avoid in writing or conversation
Geoge Orwell warned us, but we didn't pay attention. When you control the language you control the people. It started when they stopped us from calling folks Negroes and Caucasian or when we couldn't call folks homosexuals but language once not accepted a vulgar becomes commonplace. When not being offended became a right even more important than the right to speak out. We watched the elitist slowly take control of our language and we complied.

Who would have ever thought that 1984 would be so prophetic?Liberty wrote: ↑Sun Jul 21, 2019 5:30 pm Geoge Orwell warned us, but we didn't pay attention.
