These taxpayer funded idiots are teaching our children. Scary. So you can't say "illegal alien" or "female" or "male". What's next, controlling what color of shirts these kids must wear?

“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.”
If students don't learn how to conduct themselves in class, how will they manage in the workplace? I know of few employers who would be happy to hear their employees using language like that. Many young people fresh out of HS don't know better than to call a transgender person a 'tranny' or use 'male' and 'female' as a noun instead of an adjective (except when discussing biology). It just good manners, and as a college instructor I would insist on such manners.
Public schools do not exist to encourage ignorance and racism. The world that students are preparing to live in will be far harsher than to assign low marks for attendance for such transgressions. Those who cannot learn to respect others in the workplace will eventually be fired and soon enough never hired by anyone again. Your alleged right to deliberately insult and disparage other people lies mainly in your imagination.

Illegal alien is in fact an accurate and legal description of some of the people currently in the U.S. Furthermore, they are of all races/ethnicities so the terminology has nothing to do with racism and everything to do with the fact that they are not legally authorized to be in this country and are in fact aliens. What's wrong with using the correct terminology to describe them?
Control the language, you control the message.
Solution: get govt out of education on every level.
Get govt out of everything on every level.
