[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, that article really was depressing. Interesting that there's been quite a bit about Stanford in the news lately - including their idiotic "harmful language/forbidden words" nonsense.  Too bad.  I always thought Stanford would remain independent of all the liberal nuttery, but I guess not.[/quote]

The forbidden language thing was for the IT people who wrote official content for their website. Stop letting clickbait get you worked up![/quote]

PP here and I’m well aware of that.  That doesn’t change the fact that the “official content” was indeed, officially for Stanford.  How about you stop being an apologist for idiocy?[/quote]

In other words, even a minimal amount of clickbait will cause me to set my hair on fire. [/quote]

C’mon.   Calling students “frosh” instead of freshmen is stupid.   Women have been part of freshman classes for decades and no one was confused about it.   Freshmen includes women.  It’s insulting to think women can’t handle that or realize it’s being used generically.  [/quote]

What’s stupid is caring what they call them. Do you have some vested interest in the term “freshmen”? Did you trademark it and earn money off it?  If not, this is just an injustice you invented so you can throw a temper tantrum. It’s no different than the identity/labeling people on the other side. [/quote]
