University of Michigan is blasted as 'parochial and moronic' after task force bans words like 'picnic,' 'brown bag' and 'blacklist' for being offensive and harming morale

Don’t we have to ban the word PERSON since it obviously refers to a male individual?

[AppyPappy]

It is banned based on false information on social media. In short, they know it is false but they did it anyway. Science!!!

I hope this means they will purge from their libraries, their archives of works published by professors and students, and their textbooks, all works that make use of these words.

And for all dissertations and thesis papers that included them, rescind the credential.

We must be thorough.

By the way... I think the term “Master’s Degree” should be changed to “Follower’s Degree” (per their list suggestions and in the spirit of U of M Newspeak).

[jughandle]

Can they please tell me what I’m offended by, since I have no college degree?

[Vinnie]

I remember Kim Novack and William Holden having a ‘gathering’ by the railroad track.
Guess they’ll have to rename the title song also.

Reality is incorrect.
