The University of Michigan recently released a guide for creating gender-inclusive classrooms, advising professors to avoid harmful phrases like ladies and gentlemen and your mom and dad.
The guide was released October 26 by the UMich Center for Research on Learning and Teaching (CRLT), which says its mission is to promote excellence and innovation in teaching in all 19 schools and colleges at the University of Michigan.

The guide warns that professors should also avoid phrases that reinforce heteronormative assumptions, like saying your mom and dad when referring to someones parents.
Even the Menendez siblings can see your microaggression against orphans is harmful. Turn in your sensitive liberal card.

This “university” should close its doors. There is no hope for it.

Just say you reject their redefining the word “HARMFUL”. And actually find it offensive by abusing the term. They are like the awful people that have the handicap car hanger signs that are really totally healthy and not disabled at all. They are as bad as the hate crime fakers.

Yes, yes. These liberal pansies don’t get it. They don’t.
To: GuavaCheesePuff
“They” may not get it; but someone does exactly, and is intimidating these administrators into the ‘program’.
They want to push any truly intelligent, sensible Prof., and his/her influence, OUT.

These morons have been very lucky. I would like to see how they feel when the Muslims start beheading their loved ones.

I believe that they won’t really care. They will just think,”What did they[relatives] do to them to cause them [muslims] to hate them”.

to avoid harmful phrases like ladies and gentlemenWell, if there are no ladies on campus, I can understand why the phrase should be avoided. Probably not many real men, either.
