American University’s Center for Diversity and Inclusion would like to require faculty to address students by their “chosen name and pronouns,” so as to make transgender, genderqueer and gender non-conforming students feel welcome. A visiting scholar who just left AU’s Department of Management is so concerned about the proposal that he’s trying to nix it from the top. Adam Kissel, who formerly served in the Trump administration’s Department of Education, learned about the proposal after asking the center about a “pronoun guide” on the private university’s website (below).

Of course it’s insane. The problem is that insanity is now mainstream. You already lose your job over this. You already can go to jail.
Total loss of earning power. Loss of freedom. And you have no recourse.
We are talking about third person pronouns. Many Americans have no idea what that means. It’s about he/she/it, him/her/it, his/her/its, his/hers/its. They are used when speaking ABOUT someone. Not TO someone.
So the non-standard-sex person is controlling you when you speak, and when that person is not present.
This is an abuse of power. No government, no college has the right to force someone to speak their language incorrectly.
Someone needs to inform them that their preferred pronouns are “His Most Excellent Highness” (in place of He), Your Majesty” (in place of you) and stuff like that there. Bowing and curtsies not optional.
Then sue their asses off when they don’t comply.
Farging Bastages is a classic from Johnny Dangerously.
The adopting of homosexuality as a popular cause was not the end of a Romans 1:18-32 Process, only a proverbial canary dying in a mine to let everyone know what was already happening.
There was no place for the depraved to go but into insanity. I believe it’s called a strong delusion and is sent so that people who have turned their backs on the knowledge of the Lord will get the ruin and destruction that comes with doing so.
Normalizing mental illness is exactly the wrong way to go. We don’t need more gun control, we need nut control.

Professors should just do what I did while teaching at the Savannah College of Art and Design. Refer to all students by their last names. No Mister or Mizz. Just “Hey Jones, what’s the answer?”
I want to go by ‘Your’.
As in “Your Majesty” and Your Highness”.

“address students by their ‘chosen name and pronouns’”!!!!!
Address means “speak to.” You do not speak TO someone with “HE/SHE.” You speak ABOUT someone with “HE/SHE.”
You address a person with “You,” or their name.
American University - the “Hey You” university!
The university got infected by the Cultural Marxist virus.
This is a virulent disease known to attack academic freedom and integrity, and its main symptoms are eradication of common sense and intelligence.
It turns administrations and faculty into mindless zombies.
The only known cure is to close the institution and then burn the buildings until all that is left is ashes.
I’ll just add “it” ’to the end
He-it
She-it
Them-its
It’s MA’AM!
My daughter went to AU in the 90’s and she turned out ok.
The 90s is ancient history.
The left is moving _fast_ now...
In the ‘60’s, it was a recruiting ground for the State Department. Lots of grads got good jobs with that agency. A relative of mine who got hired right out of AU did 40 years and retired extremely well off.
I grew up in Philly. We just said “Yo” to everything and anyone. Most stereotypes are absolutely true.
YO! Adrian!................
