People who don’t like the word “waking up” are now fighting on college to get hurtful words banned.
The “all-inclusive” marketing section is a brand-new addition to this year’s MSU style guide. Women, the United States, Christmas trees, bells, and bunnies are not allowed to be mentioned at all.
There are lists of words to avoid under topics like “Gender and Sexuality,” “Race and Ethnicity,” “Global Identity,” and “Disability.” On the other hand, MSU says that the broad plan is not true because it doesn’t cover everything.
A new guide called the “Inclusive Guide” is part of the university’s “strategic efforts to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion.”
Under the title “Gender and Sexuality” at Michigan State University, it is safe to use language that supports extreme sex roles. Because it is rude to “assume” someone’s sex, the school has banned the use of the word “female” to describe a person. No one has ever been told not to use the word “male” at Michigan State, though. Researchers at Michigan State University found that it is rude to call someone by their nickname instead of their real name.
In the old form of the style guide, it said that between December and March, the relations team couldn’t use “majority religious imagery and language.” It’s not surprising that things like “reindeer,” “bunnies,” “eggs,” and “chicks” are on the school’s list. Workers at MSU are instead told to wish each other “happy new year” and “have a great winter/spring break.”
All references to these words have been taken out of the “inclusive” style guide in recent days because they don’t belong in academic writing, medical writing, legal writing, and other specific fields. It just tells you not to talk about faith right now. I hope everyone has a peaceful holiday season and a Happy New Year.
People were also told not to write “America” instead of “United States” in the old style guide. With the new fix, that warning is gone for good.
MSU thinks that the words “crazy,” “insane,” “bonkers,” “nuts,” “psycho,” “demented,” “senile,” “loony,” “lunatic,” “psychotic,” “addict,” “invalid,” “vegetable,” “paralyzed,” “lame,” “madhouse,” “braindead,” or “blindly” are biased.
MSU also said that people couldn’t use insulting words like “fat,” “overweight,” and “chubby.” People who work in college are usually bigger and heavier than those who don’t.
Dan Olsen, who works for MSU as a junior spokeswoman, talked to The Daily Wire. He liked the MSU Inclusive Communication Guide and said that “communication professionals and leaders can use it to help our diverse university community feel more at home.”Students and teachers are scared that they can’t use their right to free speech under the First Amendment at school. To make things clear, that’s not true. We knew that we would have to make some changes to our plans to make them legal.
