“Use of racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic, classist, or generally offensive language in class or submission of such material will not be tolerated,” professor Selena Lester Breikss’s syllabus read. “This includes ‘The Man,’ ‘Colored People,’ ‘Illegals/Illegal Aliens,’ ‘Tranny’ and so on — or referring to women/men as females or males.”

This wasn’t an idle warning.

“If I see it or hear it, I will correct it in class since it can be a learning moment for many students,” Breikss wrote. “Repeated use of oppressive and hateful language will be handled accordingly — including but not limited to removal from the class without attendance or participation points, failure of the assignment, and — in extreme cases — failure for the semester.”

Simple solution, no one signs up for his classes and bang he is on the street looking for a Real job. Why does anyone find this as odd, being that it is occurring in Little California, Washington, are you living there and if so, why?

Your alleged right to deliberately insult and disparage other people lies mainly in your imagination.
Point out for me please if you would, the exact part of the Constitution or Bill of Rights that says you have a right to never be exposed to anything you find offensive.

I'll wait.

As long as the two four letter F-words are still legal!!!!! FINE!, efu!

Wonder if some future civilization will try to break the language code of words that begin with a letter followed by a hypen and the word, 'word'?

These primitive cultures aparently felt if one of those codes was uttered, the mind would not be interpreting the phrase and actually be thinking and saying the decode silently.

If college students every need something REAL to protest against, instead of Halloween costumes and whatnot, this would be a good place to start.

My entire life I've told people they can't ban words from coming out of my mouth. Now, I'm not a stupid person and I've always played to the audience...if you know what I mean...to get along in life. It's a skill everyone needs. But no, you can't tell me any words are banned from ever being uttered. Even the worst ones you can think of. Sorry.

So if you last name is Gonzalez or you speak Spanish you are automatically a "criminal illegal alien" who should be deported back to Mexico.
I've never met anyone like that. We have a huge number of hispanic people here and never think anything like your post.

It just good manners, and as a college instructor I would insist on such manners.
Wizzz!

Do you know what that was zentropa? It was the subject of this thread going right the hell over your head.

This is about control and it illustrates how far a liberal "professor" will delve into actual malpractice to put it into action.

How about all publicly funded universities put into their employee conduct policy the edict that if the university has to apologize for incidents of free speech abridgments, the offending faculty must be terminated.

Here's another embarrassment that happened this week for your perusal:

My daughter would give him a good lesson about individual freedom and why duels at 10 paces were perfectly legal and their purpose.
Murder being the alternative.

Here's a Christian perspective:

Why We Need to Stop Using the Term "Illegal Immigrant"
No other immigrant group presents the challenge to America that Hispanics currently do.
