The University of Arizona’s College of Humanities is instructing students to say “ouch!” when they are offended by a faculty member or classmate.
The guidelines for how to response to offensive speech is outlined in a new handbook for faculty, which is entitled “Diversity and Inclusiveness in the Classroom.”
Students are instructed to use “ouch” to indicate that they have been offended. Offenders are instructed to use “oops” to signify their acknowledgment that their words have offended one of their peers.
“This document is intended to be a resource for addressing difficult or challenging topics in the classroom.” Although faculty members are not “required to utilize” the handbook, they are encouraged to utilize it so that they can best “engender the broadest possible perspectives” and “maximize free speech in the classroom,” as the handbook claims.
Some criticized the public institution for the expense at which the “ouch/oops” initiative has been introduced. Jesus Trevino, the university’s Vice Provost for Inclusive Excellence, is paid $214,000 per year to develop diversity and inclusion themed programming for the community and instructional material for the faculty.
Similar programs have been introduced at other institutions around the country. Several schools have licensed a program from the website, ouchthatstereotypehurts.com, which is a $700 program that guides administrators in addressing racial aggressions on campus.

OUCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS POST IS OFFENSIVE!!!!!!!!!
Sticks and stones may break bones, but words are always offensive (to moronic, indoctrinated liberals).
That’s undoubtedly true, but keep in mind that many mainstream “conservatives” also get terribly butthurt over words and other forms of expression. Their sacred cows are simply different from those of the leftists. Burn the Holy US Flag in front of them, or refuse to get on your knees and suck off “our” troops the way they do, and the response will be very similar to what you’d get if you walked into an NAACP meeting yelling “niggers!” at the top of your lungs.
This PC crap is BS. My opinion will be given weather you like it or not. The truth will be spoken, like it or not.
I’ll give you something to say “ouch!” about, you f–king pansies.
Damn kids, anyway!
Wow, I sound just like my old man.
HAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“This document is intended to be a resource for addressing difficult or challenging topics in the classroom.”

Gotta be nothing but ‘ouches’ & ‘oopses’ between Chump and Hitlery supporters then.
“Students are instructed to use “ouch” to indicate that they have been offended.”
The ones who do will be the same ones fighting over the window seats on the FEMA buses.
