Not a STEM department?

Not college level, period.

Liberals, however, do need college “degrees”.

Even if they come on cereal box tops.

That college is one among many that has become a joke.

Why not ban wo-man, fe-male?????? Anyone else notice lately a lot of web articles confuse his/hers and he/she? I was reading an article about a traditional male/female bridal couple and there was a sentence that read “the bride and his fiance” and from other info it appeared the sentence should have been the “the bride and her fiance.”

“Secretary” is an exclusive word that’s inappropriate to use, California State University Fullerton told students on a handout about gender-inclusive language. Instead, use “administrative assistant,” the guide said.

Sounds great to me.

'Donald Trump is running against former Administrative Assistant of State Hillary Clinton.'

Too gendered? What the heck?

My Alma Mater has gone ‘round the twist, I’m afraid.

To be fair, Fullerton has a point here! Words can be hurtful!

So I suggest completely moving to some sort of base 2 language.

0 could be “hello”. 1 could be “goodbye”, 10 could be “shut up you Fullerton morons”, etc. Would that satisfy the social justice crowd?

I am male and I am the Secretary of a nonprofit. It is a legal requirement in our state. I sign documents as Secretary. Hillary was Secretary of state. How do you eliminate Secretary?

To nurse means to suckle. It then came to mean something like to care for a child with a distinction between “wet nurse” (suckling a child) and “dry nurse” (otherwise care for a child). The word then was adapted to mean to care for the sick. Presumably these were females caring for he sick, hence “male nurse” for the unusual case of a male caring for the sic. While there were gender roles in the origins of the word nurse, meaning to care for the sick, the word today should be understood to be gender neutral. By the same reasoning, we shouldn’t say Senatrix but just say Senator. We shouldn’t say foreperson but just say foreman. We should be post-feminist as well as post-racial, meaning, we should just get over it.

I realize this is a college and there for the idea of the U.S. Constitution may be a strange concept. That said they could KMA telling me I can not say the words man or mankind.
There exist two sexes and no amount of their pc whining changes that.

I am a male nurse, Never realized calling me what I am is exclusive. Dang, guess I should be butthurt or something. By the way, I’m running for most Beautimous Male Nurse of the Tri-County area. Only 2 of us, so I should place in the top 3.

They want to ban secretary? Let's check the etymology of it.

secretary (n.) late 14c., "person entrusted with secrets," from Medieval Latin secretarius "clerk, notary, confidential officer, confidant," a title applied to various confidential officers, noun use of adjective meaning "private, secret, pertaining to private or secret matters" (compare Latin secretarium "a council-chamber, conclave, consistory"), from Latin secretum "a secret, a hidden thing" (see secret (n.)).

Yeah, I can see how a "person entrusted with secrets" would be obsolete for "secretary" considering this actions of the recent Secretary of State.

(And, by the way, in Latin secretarius is masculine.)
