University of Tennessee
Educators in the Volunteer State are very concerned that students might be offended by the usage of traditional pronouns like she, he, him and hers, according to a document from the University of Tennessee Knoxvilles Office of Diversity and Inclusion.
With the new semester beginning and an influx of new students on campus, it is important to participate in making our campus welcoming and inclusive for all, wrote Donna Braquet in a posting on the universitys website. One way to do that is to use a students chosen name and their correct pronouns.
Braquet, who is director of the universitys Pride Center, suggested using a variety of gender neutral pronouns instead of traditional pronouns.

I wish these academic frauds would tangle with the Spanish language where there are masculine and feminine endings, some with no particular reasons. C’mon. Be fair. Tell the Mexicans that their language stinks instead of worrying about a handful of pronouns. C’mon, academia!

It’s not a joke. Donna Braquet is a man-hating dyke and this is just her particular approach to bullying and intimidating everyone else into going along with her despicable and contemptible agenda.

People like this should be tarred, and feathered, and ridden out of town on a rail, and dumped in a swamp.

Tell me, again, that we shouldn't gas everyone on the bottom half of the Bell curve, in self defense.
Just when I think they can't go deeper, someone throws out another shovel full.
