Dreary Woko-Drips Stain Stanford
Having observed Oxford and Cambridge dredge down to ever new depths of self-debasement…
Oxoniental Obeisance…Stinks!
.Cambridge – Clare College’s Crawling Creeps
Wot Next? Oxbridge Obliterated? Project Fear Gets Nuttier!
…..
(while the ‘Conservative’ government refuses to use public purse-strings to bring the academic klutzes to heel)
….
…now we see that an American university, once of great distinction, has stained its stellar reputation…
.
.
….by proscribing perfectly good ‘words and phrases for being “culturally appropriative” – which evidently means upsetting Red Indians…
.
..
…of the nasty, uptight variety.
“Bury the hatchet” is excised because it appropriates “a centuries-old tradition among some North American indigenous peoples”. It should be replaced by “call a truce”.
Similarly, a “pow wow” becomes a “get together...”
Oh, and not just Indians of the redskin sort.
Mustn’t call a “guru” an expert, to avoid negating a word seen as a sign of respect

Those examples are infantile, of course, but IMHO the idiocy about ‘ableism‘ is even worse.
.
Examples?
0000
“blind study” – which “furthers an ableist culture” – becomes a “masked study”
Woops!
Doesn’t that ‘masked’ impinge on burka culture?
“tone deaf” because it trivialises disabilities. Unenlightened, however, is acceptable.
That leaves me speechless – or should I say ‘tone-dumb?
0000
Talk about pathetic!
Who cares if some jerks with hang-ups get weepy?
,
Leave our rich and vivid English language alone!

I usually like your late-night posts, Ross.
This is a good one, not just showing up the wokers but getting in your un-pc illustrations, Magua from Last of the Mohicans, right?
And those burka babes and that always welcome ‘Retard Alert!’
Who would want their kids to go to a thought-policing uni?

Stanford has fallen, and so resoundingly.
It’s staggering how unintelligently this war on words can be waged by the Woke!
