Mandatory Title IX training tells Harvard undergrads they may be subject to disciplinary proceedings for 'sizeism,' 'fatphobia,' 'cisheterosexism,' 'ableism'.
Welcome to Harvard!
"Fatphobia" and "cisheterosexism" perpetuate "violence." "Using the wrong pronouns" constitutes "abuse." And "any words used to lower a person’s self-worth" are "Verbal Abuse." Those are just a handful of the things the school told all undergraduate students in a mandatory Title IX training session, according to materials reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon.
The online training, which all undergraduates were required to complete in order to enroll in courses, includes a "Power and Control Wheel" to help students identify "harmful" conduct. Outside the wheel are attitudes that "contribute to an environment that perpetuates violence," a voiceover from the training states, including "sizeism and fatphobia," "cisheterosexism," "racism," "transphobia," "ageism," and "ableism."
Inside the wheel are behaviors that the school says constitute "abuse" and could violate its Title IX policies. "We all have an essential role to play in creating a community that cultivates gender equity and inclusion," Harvard College dean Rakesh Khurana told students in a video introducing the training. "Completing this course is a critical step in establishing a shared understanding of the values here at Harvard College."
Harvard launched the training in 2016, according to the Harvard Crimson, and announced in 2018 that completing the training was a prerequisite for course enrollment. The school is vague on the repercussions for violations of its sprawling interpretation of Title IX, a federal law that prohibits discrimination based on sex, stating that violations "may" result in "termination, dismissal, expulsion" or "revocation of tenure."
A spokesman for Harvard's Office for Gender Equity, which conducts the Title IX training, did not respond to a request for comment. Harvard did not respond to a request for comment.

How about if you just want to call someone a plain old ordinary dumb-ass? Is that still okay?
One of the best things that could happened to America is the Harvard Schools of Law, Business, and Political Science being burned to the ground, all the professors driven naked into the wilderness, and the ground sown with salt.

My Dad,who grew up in a family of seven kids that was too poor to send him to college,wound up as a Vice President at a major corporation that was overflowing with Harvard *and* MIT grads. He always had enormous respect for the MIT grads but not so much for the Harvard grads. About the kindest thing he had to say about them was “you can always tell a Harvard man,but you can’t tell him much”.
Forcing me to lie is abuse.
Actually....”biped” should be a perfectly appropriate pronoun for anyone!
Harvard, my graduate alma mater, has gotten MUCH too woke for its own good!!!!
The graduate alumni bulletin they just sent me is full of all sorts of BS about “diversity” and “women of color”, etc. I don’t care about any of that garbage!!!!
When don’t they do something about religious discrimination? Harvard was rife with anti-Christian discrimination when I was there, but we just shrugged it off!! Now it’s even worse, but they only care about race and LGBT!!!!
Harvard is now searching for a new president. They desperately need to appoint a conservative scientist, and clean house!!!!
“Harvard is the abuser - forcing people to use incorrect pronouns is abuse.”
Yes they are. Typical leftism, accusing others of your own behavior.
Isn’t forcing others to use language that they don’t to a far bigger abuse?
If a person had a surgeon insert feathers under their skin would Harvard defend their right to see themself as a bird?
A bird that drops poop on the floor when ‘it’ has to go?
On their floor? On their Harvard classroom floors?
Asking for a friend.
"Fatphobia"? Why not "pachysarkophobia"?
"Cisheterosexism" is a mish-mash of Greek and Latin roots, used in ways no ancient Greek or Roman would have.
No, it is not. It's merely the Ivy League: a bunch of over-rated leftist braying jackasses living in the dying glow of their long ago glory days when they were actually not too horrible.
My preferred pronouns are None and Whatsoever.
People need to say pronoun switches are sexist.
Title 9 uses sex not gender.
Impress them with our prowess ...
The ‘Let’s just love everybody” generation has no backbone whatsoever. Everything you don’t agree with them on is an insult to their delicate selves.
Plato defined man as a "featherless biped." Diogenes the Cynic then plucked a chicken and said, "Here is Plato's man." So "having broad nails" was added to Plato's definition.
At least according to Diogenes Laertius' Life of Diogenes.
I guess the students are being Harv-whored.
I failed English Grammar in high school so I don’t know what a pronoun is.
On the other hand, I passed Literature courses with flying colors!
Academia is guilty of 1st Amendment abuse.
My US Amendments
TRUMP
