Stanford U. to allow 'harmful language' because they evidently don't care if we're harmed now

Stanford University, an elite school of lower learning, took only two days to walk back what they pointed out is "harmful language." If they truly believed that, why did they walk it back? Don't they care that words like "American" and "patriot" can cause harm upon the fragile psyches of their snowflakes students? Words like “freshman” and “mankind” were attacked for being “gender-based.” Terms such as “blind study” and “tone-deaf” were criticized as “ableist.” 

Seriously, these people are [can I say it?] morons.

But we all know that most people in academia are leftist cowards who are more comfortable grooming children and young adults than they are with free speech and when you come right down to it, the entire U.S. Constitution.

So Stanford is apparently walking back the rigid campus language code "Elimination of Harmful Language Initiative" and removing it from its website they put there just two days prior because it was blasted by people on both sides of the aisle, according to The Washington Free Beacon. 

The webpage for the woke tripe went live over the weekend, the Free Beacon reported. The proposed language policies were the subject of a critical Op-Ed published by The Wall Street Journal on Monday.

The university resource outlined a laundry list of “harmful” words and phrases that would be removed from Stanford websites and suggested politically correct alternatives to the objectionable language.

Imagine, they went after the word "American" and said it was harmful because it supposedly ascribes supremacy to the United States over other countries in the Americas. Well, lah-dee-dah. If that wasn't true in a certain sense, then why are people from other countries in the Americas hauling their butts to come here? 

No Virginia, not all countries and cultures are equal.

However, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a professor at Stanford's medical school rejected the proposed elimination of the word "American." He tweeted:

I remember how proud I was when I became a naturalized American citizen. I’m still proud to be an American, and I don’t care that @Stanford disapproves of my using the term. https://t.co/NKwzjOlV3v

Steve Gallagher, Stanford’s chief information officer, released a statement on Tuesday distancing the school from its attack on the First Amendment.

“Over the last couple of days, there has been much discussion of a website that provides advice for the IT community at Stanford about word choices in Stanford websites and code,” Gallagher said.

“First and importantly, the website does not represent university policy. It also does not represent mandates or requirements,” he clarified.

Gallagher said the word “American” would not be banned by the university, but it isn't clear whether there will remain in place unconstitutional measures to ban the most basic freedom we have in the Bill of Rights.

“We have particularly heard concerns about the guide’s treatment of the term ‘American,'” Gallagher said. “We understand and appreciate those concerns. To be very clear, not only is the use of the term ‘American’ not banned at Stanford, it is absolutely welcomed.”

Yeah, well let me repeat myself: lah-dee-dah.

Gallagher indicated that the speech code was undergoing “continual review,” suggesting that it could return in an altered capacity.

Speech code at Big Brother University. Nice going comrades.
