1. If your college allows you to identify your sexual orientation, you are a homosexual. It allows you a raft of protections.
2. Then you say to the professor “Do you mean I would not be allowed to refer to my husband. Is it because I am gay?”
3. If she stands her ground, you report her as a Repressive.

“a required course for any student pursuing a minor in Innovation”

What exactly is a minor in “Innovation”?

“Creativity in Context.” Minor in “Innovation.”

These sound like the modern-day equivalents of Basket Weaving for scholarship athletes.

Anyone pursuing such a degree and registers for a course like this deserves whatever nonsense is required of him to pass.

We continue to let all these communist/liberal foreigners come in here that we educate and then turn them loose on our young skulls full of mush.

We are stupid.

“the purpose of Newspeak was not only to provide a medium of expression . . . but to make all other modes of thought impossible.

” Its vocabulary was so constructed as to give exact and often very subtle expression to every meaning that a Party member could properly wish to express, while excluding all other meaning and also the possibility of arriving at them by indirect methods.

“This was done partly by the invention of new words, but chiefly by eliminating undesirable words and stripping such words as remained of unorthodox meanings, and so far as possible of all secondary meaning whatever.”

— 1984, Orwell

"Creativity In Context" class -- a required course for any student pursuing a minor in Innovation

Is this a situation where the expression, WTF, is even necessary?

Hey, Professor. This “C” grade you gave me isn’t inclusive. That’s unfair.

What's a minor in "innovation"? A waste of tens of thousands of dollars.

Just BTW, the idiotic U. of Mizzou has a listed major in 'leisure studies', believe it or not.

“Do you mean I would not be allowed to refer to my husband. Is it because I am gay?”

Or "Does that mean that I cannot decide that I want to be referred to as 'Husband'? Are you denying me the right to choose my own identity?"

Dear Professor Clueless,

My priority is to be CLEAR, as I don’t give a damn about inclusive.

The professor sounds homophobic and should be confronted by the rainbow crowd. I knew a lesbian lawyer who would refer to her wife. I don’t think that she would be amused by this twerp.

She’s kinda cute. If she needs any help figuring out gender roles, I volunteer to ‘tutor’ her.

University of Florida is a state school. 1st Amendment protections apply.

Use the “forbidden” terms. When she marks down grades file a lawsuit against the school on Constitutional and civil rights grounds. Watch as the University runs from her like a scalded dog and begs to settle the suit fir as low a $$$ amount as possible.
