And this is an institute of “higher” learning? What a sad joke.

The "high" just isn't what you thought.

Someone should demand a new gender pronoun: it would be composed entirely of sounds not found natively in English, and it would be written with a unique symbol. Failure to use the correct sounds or the correct script would be reported as discriminatory microaggression.

Or this one...first verse only...sorry, was in a rush...

(Sung to the tune of Shiny Happy People by R.E.M.)

Crazy stupid people judging

Avoid them in the crowd, weirdos, weirdos
Throwing their hate around
While saying love me, love me
Always have a frown, unhappy, unhappy
Put them in a home where they can do no harm
Where insane people thrive

Crazy stupid people screaming
Crazy stupid people screaming
Crazy stupid people judging

I took a chance there, hoping someone over 50 would recognize those lyrics. For the Generation X folks here, my favorite version:

My daughter, who has been battling gender dysphoria for years, thinks these gender neutral pronouns are the height of stupidity and a sign of the continued lunacy of the S.J.W. movement.

So every time a student sees someone, instead of asking *How are you today?*, they should ask *What are you today?*

*What’s your gender pronoun preference today?*

FORGET IT!!!!!!!

How about using pronouns like jerk, moron, peckerhead and a-hole. If they object, will they scream “ey,” “ze” and “xe?”

Who cares? These simpering sheep won’t last two days in the world.

KSU is a left wing haven that somehow ended up in a very conservative part of Georgia. This is where the black cheerleaders knelt for the national anthem last fall and has a reputation as being full of left wing lunatics.
