Colorado State University Erases the Word “America”

Not even denouncing the patriotic Gadsden Flag as politically unclean will be the end of their purging. By the time progressives are through progressing, the very word “America” will be struck from the Newspeak Dictionary. Academia is already there:

Colorado State University claims that “American” is a non-inclusive word that should be avoided.

CSU’s online Inclusive Language Guide, compiled by the school’s Inclusive Communications Task Force, lists certain words and phrases to avoid while providing replacements in an effort to help “communicators practice inclusive language and [help] everyone on [its] campus feel welcomed, respected, and valued.”

Too bad that Americans who love their country and think it should continue to exist are not welcomed, respected, or valued on college campuses.

CSU lists both “American” and “America” as non-inclusive words “to avoid,” due to the fact that America encompasses more than just the U.S. By referring to the U.S. as America, the guide claims that one “erases other cultures and depicts the United States as the dominant American country.”

If social engineers succeed with their manipulation, there will be no such thing as the American people or American culture. There won’t be words to express such forbidden concepts. There will only be people who happen to live, legally or otherwise, within the borders of the United States. These people will have no shared heritage and no meaningful connection to each other.

Other words CSU has struck from the Newspeak Dictionary for the purpose of imposing liberal ideology include “straight,” “male,” “female,” “ladies,” “gentleman.” Even the feminist invention “Ms.” is forbidden, along with “Mr.” and “Mrs.”

Since liberals attempt to erase whole classes of things by erasing the words for them, “normal person” can also be found on the forbidden vocabulary list. No substitute term is provided for this, because it is never politically correct to acknowledge the existence of normal people. The whole purpose of Cultural Marxism is to marginalize and then eradicate normal people.

CSU doesn’t even want you to say “handicap parking,” “cake walk,” “freshman,” or “policeman.” These terms are regarded as noninclusive. That is, they are thought crimes.

A character describes the purpose of inclusive language guides in George Orwell’s 1984:

“Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it. Every concept that can ever be needed, will be expressed by exactly one word, with its meaning rigidly defined and all its subsidiary meanings rubbed out and forgotten. … Every year fewer and fewer words, and the range of consciousness always a little smaller.”

Before liberals are finished imposing their inclusiveness, the only words that have not been excluded from the language will be those required to chant leftist talking points. These mandatory phrases will have no more meaning than the inarticulate noises emitted by animals.
