Woke Stanford University Releases List of ‘Harmful’ and ‘Racist’ Words To Eliminate – Includes American


Increasingly many educators who have been entrusted to prepare young Americans for their desired careers, and/or various causes, have abanded reality for social justice insanity.

Stanford University is a perfect example of a sought-after university whose leadership is drunk on radical Kool-Aid.

The beautiful campus is located in the spiritually dark region of our nation, the bay area, specifically in Palo Alto, CA, the tech hub of Silicon Valley.

In May, the leadership published an index of ‘harmful language’ that it wants to eliminate because the terms are ‘ableist, ageist or racist’ — including the word American — as it calls for US citizen to be used instead.

The University’s ridiculous plan includes replacing unapproved terms with newly approved words and phrases, on all university computer systems and websites.

The Elimination of Harmful Language Initiative will also aim to educate people about the impact that ‘racist, violent and biased’ words have.

The guide, titled “The Elimination of Harmful Language Initiative,” featured “10 ‘harmful language’ sections outlined in the index: ableist, ageism, colonialism, culturally appropriative, gender-based, imprecise language, institutionalized racism, person-first, violent and additional considerations.’”

The ‘woke’ guide was released earlier this year but the Wall Street Journal opinion piece made the ‘list’ to go viral.

Stanford University eliminated the word “American” because “This term often refers to people from the United States only, thereby insinuating that the US is the most important country in the Americas (which is actually made up of 42 countries)”

The words “brave” and “grandfather” and “long time, no see” because they are insensitive to indigenous peoples and women.

Below is a partial list of banned words:

Original: walk-in

Swap: drop-in, open office

Reason: ‘Ableist language that trivializes the experiences of people living with disabilities’

Original: grandfather

Swap: legacy

Reason: ‘This term has its roots in the “grandfather clause” adopted by Southern states to deny voting rights to Blacks’

Original: guru

Swap: expert, subject matter expert (SME), primary, leader, teacher, guide

Reason: ‘In the Buddhist and Hindu traditions, the word is a sign of respect. Using it casually negates its original value’

Original: brave

Swap: none/do not use

Reason: ‘This term perpetuates the stereotype of the “noble courageous savage,” equating the Indigenous male as being less than a man’

Original: man hours

Swap: person hours, effort hours, labor time

Reason: ‘This term reinforces male-dominated language’

Original: American

Swap: US Citizen

Reason: ‘This term often refers to people from the United States only, thereby insinuating that the US is the most important country in the Americas (which is actually made up of 42 countries)’

Original: whitespace

Swap: empty space

Reason: ‘Assigns value connotations based on color (white = good), an act which is subconsciously racialized’

Original: prostitute

Swap: person who engages in sex work

Reason: ‘Using person-first language helps to not define people by just one of their characteristics

Original: kill(ing) two birds with one stone

Swap: accomplish(ing) two things at once

Reason: ‘This expression normalizes violence against animals’

Original: trigger warning

Swap: content note

Reason: ‘The phrase can cause stress about what’s to follow. Additionally, one can never know what may or may not trigger a particular person’

For those of us who live in what the late great Rush Limbaugh called, Reallville, the future of our great nation is increasingly at risk with each graduating class on Marxists, and social justice activists from propaganda portals like Standford University.
