The Council of Chief Diversity Officers at the University of California released a “guidance document” to announce “supportive positive and inclusive campus climates during the COVID-19 crisis.”
The list begins by telling students to “reject racism, sexism, xenophobia and all hateful or intolerant speech, both in person and online,” and to “Be an ‘up-stander,’ and discourage others from engaging in such behavior.”
“Do not use terms such as ‘Chinese Virus’ or other terms which cast either intentional or unintentional projections of hatred toward Asian communities, and do not allow the use of these terms by others,” the university tells students and faculty, insisting that all members of the campus community refer to the virus as only “COVID-19” OR “coronavirus” in all “oral and written communications.”
Officials from all UC campuses signed the guidance document, which functions as an instruction sheet for all faculty, students, and staff.
"While certain concerns of bigotry directed towards persons of Asian descent might be warranted, this UC policy implicitly attributes a malicious motive to those who refer to the coronavirus as the ‘Chinese virus’ and that is laughable,” External VP of the UC Berkeley College Republicans Rudra Reddy told Campus Reform.
“The Chinese government has actively contributed to the spread of this deadly virus by obscuring information about the outbreak and spreading devious rumors trying to assign blame to the American military,” Reddy added.

“...Don’t these losers have anything to think about?...”
Therein lies the keyword: “think”.
They’re incapable of it. That’s why they’re nothing but losers.
The communist left is like a mosquito; it can only think about itself, its next meal and is annoying. Anything beyond that and they’re pretty much useless.
Actually, I plan on doing something like that, but politely. Sort of a “tough love” thing.
I’ve got you beat. See post 16.
(That's the title of quite a few books - see Amazon.)
"This pandering to the CCP is an attack on the mission and values of the University.Bring Out Your DeadPandering to the CCP IS the mission of the UC system:

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the Bring Out Your Dead ping list (formerly the Ebola ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
The false positive rate was 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the Bring Out Your Dead threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
If a quarantine saves just one child's or one old farts life, it's worth it.
As did 35 Liberal MSM outlets!
Then they did not realize it could be used against President Trump. Now they realize that they can use it against President Trump. See the difference?
I hold told my boss I was going to retire in July 2019, in oct of 2018, I was at a business holiday party where the F word was used every other sentence, told my boss I was disappointed in the overuse of such a word, he told me to grow up its just a word. In Nov of 2018 I told a joke at a small office function with the f word used once and was fired in Jan for that act. Good joke about Mickey and Minnie Mouse getting a divorce.
Please call it the ChiCom virus.Doing otherwise will offend the free Chinese in Taiwan.
There is a big difference between those peoples.
The DOJ civil rights division should be knocking on their door.
We simply no longer fit into their culture. Things are changing too fast, though. I feel for those younger than us that are going to have to deal with such a rate of change.
yes I agree, it is 1984 come to life, Office of Culture Diversity wants everyone to speak the same.
Because I have finally reached a state where I could lose my job at any moment and I’d be fine with it, I’ve gotten kinda cocky at work. I was just getting started and suddenly we’re all working at home. Frankly, I think that many of us will be furloughed by the end of the month, especially us contractors, so I may never see most of these people again. So I won’t get the chance.
“UC Tells Students Do Not Say Chinese Virus’ And ‘Do Not Allow’ Others To Say It Either
Chinese Virus.
Although the name of Red China’s Communist Party boss is usually spelled Xi Jinping, I always spell it Hsi Chin-p’ing. I prefer the traditional Wade-Giles romanization of Chinese to the Pinyin system, which was cooked up by the Chicoms.
Yeah, I noticed after I made my “Gomer” post.
Tell the authorities to pound sand and say whatever you want.
That 1963 free speech movement in Berkeley doesn’t look so bad now.
My experience at big companies is the useless f@cks are the last to be laid off.
