The Daily Sheeple – by Melissa Dykes
Word by word, the language is being picked apart by the politically correct police on the most ridiculous grounds possible. Pretty soon we aren’t going to be able to use very many words anymore… not unless we want to (GASP!) offend someone.
In a world where governments are blowing up children with drones and calling them collateral damage in phony terror wars on a daily basis, social engineering has turned average people into walking arguments that the film Idiocracy was actually a documentary, busily wasting their time fretting over how offensive otherwise innocuous words are.
Human beings are mammals. A female mammal who has children has traditionally been called a “mother” or “mom,” to separate this mammal linguistically from the male version, who has traditionally been called a “dad” or “father”.
Well, not anymore in one Florida college classroom where a professor has decided that language is offensive because it isn’t “inclusive” enough.
Via the Daily Caller:
In the syllabus for her “Creativity In Context” class — a required course for any student pursuing a minor in Innovation — UF professor Jennifer Lee informs students of her four paragraph long classroom “communications policy” that she says will enforce “ethical conduct” in the classroom.
“The following policies and guidelines will be followed in this course,” the policy begins, followed by a bullet point instructing students to “Use inclusive language.” The policy mandates that students “[s]peak in a way that does not make assumptions about others based on “norms”, stereotypes, or one’s own identity or experience.”
The syllabus explains that this means replacing the words “boyfriend”/”girlfriend” with the more inclusive “partner” or “significant other.” The rule applies to conversations about married couples too: saying “husband” or “wife” is forbidden. Even the words “mom” and “dad” have a more “inclusive” alternative — students are told to use the word ‘family” instead.
So there is no such thing as a “mom” or a “dad” or a “husband” or a “wife” in that PC brainwashing lab er, classroom. Sounds like a good place for a mime to hang out…
By using the new words, Lee explains, students will be using speech that “is inclusive of alternative orientations and family structures, and free of stereotypes.”
Find one person walking around on this planet who didn’t have a mother and a father, if even only at the moment they were born? They got here somehow…
Pretty soon the only way to be “free of stereotypes” will be to not speak at all. Then they’ll have to move on to weeding out the offensive facial expressions. Take this all the way out and we end up in one of those dystopic futures like in the film The Giver where everyone is medically forced into having no emotions at all because emotions are just too “dangerous” and “offensive”.

Sorry. But my mom is still mom. Well actually she’s grandma now but it’s all the same.
I never had a father growing up and it was awkward when I was asked about him. (at the time most families had a mom and dad…er parental units, sorry to so noninclusive) However, life goes on and never once did I feel like I was being attacked for the actions of the man who donated his sperm to my cause.
I didn’t care for being your dad (dam that non-inclusive word again) to work day, but looking back that feeling I had just makes me want to be more of a father to my children now.
Pain is part of life and can be a great teacher and I think by sparing our kids all the pain we can, we maybe don’t teach them enough of how to live? And no. Beating the crapcout of kids isn’t what I meant….now if someone wanted to take a nice baseball bat to the professor in this article, that’s a different story.

I’m so sick of hearing people say, “My significant other”.
F**K THAT! If you’re gay, then you’re gay. Why hide it? You want to come out and then when you do and people are basically whatever about it, you get offended. I’m confused.
Either you’re proud of having a boyfriend or a girlfriend (in regards to the same sex) or you’re not. GROW UP!
How about we just call your partner a dog. Is that better?
I mean seriously. If you don’t like the way the world is, then GO F*CKING someplace else or die already! Stop telling me how to live my life and what to say. 😡
“By using the new words, Lee explains, students will be using speech that “is inclusive of alternative orientations and family structures, and free of stereotypes.”
Who the hell asked to be free of stereotypes???
I sure didn’t.
Freakin’ gene pool in this country is in SERIOUS need of scrubbing.
Sounds like it’s too scrubbed…
Maybe it needs to be really, really diluted…
Especially certain PC Delusional people…
Just sayin’
After a brief background check of her and her name, a Jennifer Lee Lemanski. She’s a useless liberal arts dance instructor and therapist at UF. Lee is a name stolen by the tribe frequently and Lemanski is another issue in itself, as it points towards a lineage. Not saying it is, but the pov says a lot…
Mom and Dad….. PC at college..?
How about that raping thing at frat parties and on campus.
I guess that’s resolved so we can move on to mom and dad.
#Mom&DadsLivesFkngMatterOnCampuss
Hmmmm, I wonder if “Victim” or “Perpatrator” is PC?
Or could it be?
Should it be?
