College requests 'grammatically incorrect' gender-neutral language
Campus Reform ^ | March 22, 2017 | Anthony Gockowski

Posted on 03/23/2017 7:33:58 AM PDT by C19fan

Sarah Lawrence College wants all official school publications to adhere to a set of “Gender Neutral Language Guidelines” that prohibit the use of terms such as “brotherhood” and “mankind.”

While the guidelines specifically apply only to “publications and policy statements whose primary audience is enrolled students” at the college, the document does make clear that “reducing unnecessary gender reference in all materials is ideal.”

The Brave New World of total insanity. Now they are trying to control our Words and Language to force their Marxist construct onto our children. To remove yourself from Reality and Truth (God) and pretend there are not only male and female and the mutilated or abnormal is to force their delusions on their students.

This has got to end. Wittgenstein knew that whmoever can make Words meaningless and remove them from logic and truth (Reality/God) will be able to collapse logic and reason in children and make them into dumb, ignorant programmed, irrational “bots”, just dumb slaves and jackboots for the State or corporations.

Shouldn’t the college have a gender neutral name?

In The Beginning was The Word, and The Word was with God and The Word was God.

Yep. Got to make Words meaningless.

That poor guy. Lots of that happened during the early days of the women's movement.

Wendy Davis, who ran for TX governor in the last round, did pretty much the same thing. She waited until after she had her law degree to divorce her husband. Sticking him with the college debt.

I enjoy using the English language. I got my grammer and punctuation in the 7th grade. In detail, backed up by a Mom with an attitude of ‘perfection’, and a college degree.

Correct language usage is necessary for good communication (of both words and thoughts).

The English language has a delicious choice of words with slightly varying definitions and nuances based on the word’s etymology.

I almost said entomology, which would apply to how the FBI, et.al., handle communications.l

The purpose of Newspeak was not only to provide a medium of expression for the world-view and mental habits proper to the devotees of Ingsoc, but to make all other modes of thought impossible. It was intended that when Newspeak had been adopted once and for all and Oldspeak forgotten, a heretical thought — that is, a thought diverging from the principles of Ingsoc — should be literally unthinkable, at least so far as thought is dependent on words. 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 meanings 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 by stripping such words as remained of unorthodox meanings, and so far as possible of all secondary meanings whatever.

From the Appendix to 1984

Call the students “it” and “that” instead of he-him or she-her.

It is named John. That is a lacrosse team member.
It is Mary, from my poli-sci class. That is a cheerleader and mentor volunteer.

The inmates are now running the asylum. This thinking is insane and profoundly stupid.

I saw that.

Hmmm.

Alejandro De Aza is available. Different sport, sure...but could he be worse than what CHI has now for QBs?

If my granny could be reanimated as a zombie, I’d give her the ball before I’d give to friggin Sanchez. She wouldn’t butt fumble.

As for our starter, Glennon, pretty unknown quantity, probably not very good.

I forgot about Mike Glennon. He can’t be worse than Suckler...or Sanchize.

I turned on some movie, “The Day Reagen was Shot”, Richard Dreyfuss as Al Haig, they are demonizing the hell out of him, having him freak out and slap some dude in the situation room, doing some weird stuff with camera while his making his famous declaration. And Bush is a cornpone who refused to take a chopper to the White House Lawn cause only the President (”Rawhide” I guess was his Secret Service name) is ‘allowed’ to do that. The grandma from “Two and a Half Men” is Nancy. Seems like they are exaggerating problems with the Soviets.

It’s farcical when they miscast such liberal loons in these types of roles.

Next, look for Rosie O’Donnell to be cast as The Don, with that thing (I won’t type it’s name) from that “Girls” crapfest to be cast as Melania.
