#1 They should stop using words altogether. I mean, they're speaking *English*, fer cripes sake. If that isn't the language of dead white men, then I don't know what.

#4 Ah, 'Penn" state, university and state, are named after that white male William Penn. Talk about white male oppression, but act on that. Got to get a new name.

#5 How will they refer to one of their own professors, climate alarmist Michael Mann? Maybe they can just mumble his last name...

#7 The phrase 'him or her' was also replaced with 'them' in a bid to become gender neutral

What if you want to be referred to as a "him" or "her" and not a "them?"

How about focusing of education and academic rigor and not the discriminatory "wokeness" crap?

#8 How the hell is "Senior" a male word? These people are insane, ... or else this is more deliberate mangling of language to unhinge any rational thinkers and enforce NewSpeak.
