‘Inclusive Language Campaign’ debuts at University of Michigan
Dozens of posters plastered across the University of Michigan caution students not to say things that might hurt others’ feelings, part of a new “Inclusive Language Campaign” at the state’s flagship public university that cost $16,000 to implement.
Words declared unacceptable through the campaign include “crazy,” “insane,” “retarded,” “gay,” “tranny,” “gypped,” “illegal alien,” “fag,” “ghetto” and “raghead.” Phrases such as “I want to die” and “that test raped me” are also verboten.
University spokesman Rick Fitzgerald told The College Fix in an email the campaign aims to “address campus climate by helping individuals understand that their words can impact someone and to encourage individuals to commit to creating a positive campus community.”ILCinside
Students have been asked to sign a pledge to “use inclusive language” and to help their peers “understand the importance of using inclusive language,” according to campaign materials.
Though only in existence for one semester, the Inclusive Language Campaign has maintained a strong presence throughout the university. Students roaming the campus frequently encounter posters of all sizes reminding them: “YOUR WORDS MATTER,” and asking questions such as: “If you knew that I grew up in poverty, would you still call things ‘ghetto’ and ‘ratchet’?”
Representatives of the Inclusive Language Campaign did not respond to repeated requests for comment from The College Fix.
Junior Kidada Malloy, who helps promote the program on campus, told the Michigan Daily the campaign “is a great program because it will improve the day-to-day language of students on campus by providing education around words that are offensive.”
Fitzgerald told The College Fix the university budgeted $16,000 for the campaign. The program comes at a time when the university has raised tuition and fees for the last two consecutive years.
The Inclusion Policy wants people to exclude certain words.
Oh.....kay.
Hey, ya’know, sh*t happens and
muff occurs
I thought it was where tolerance goes to die.
How’s this for inclusive? “ that’s retarded, all you fags can go f*** yourselves “
I’m sure the teachers love the program; it is logical to conclude they are the most likely targets of the language.
Whatever their motive; it is certain they will compel students to turn one another in for using language not approved by the schools Council of Comrade Dictators.

“A diva, mostly from urban cities and ghettos, that has reason to believe she is every mans eye candy. Unfortunately, she’s wrong.
Typical signs to beware of include, but are not limited to:
-owning a Blackberry
-BLARES anything by Drake, 2Chainz, Nicki Minaj, Gucci Mane, Waka Flocka, Lil Wayne, T-Pain, Cali Swag District, or any other garbage entertainment rapper
-rowdily quotes “lyrics” from aforementioned artists
-has a weave reminiscent of a bird’s nest after a tempest hit the tree it was in, and is dyed at least thrice
-wears torn leggings/stalkings (mostly of the fishnet variety), unpolished 8” heels (or higher, depending on how God-awful they look), fitted jean jackets (to accent the blubber ‘round their arms and stomach), and 4 layers of caked on make-up to go clubbing
-repeatedly use ludicrous terms such as “YOLO”, “swag”, “boost”, “beaking”, “doe”, “really”, “naw”, “actually”, “twerk”, “coaster”, “dagga”, etc., to make a valid statement when they speak
-have side bangs, despite having incredibly small-ass foreheads to support them
-are commonly overweight
and are mind-numbingly stupid; a safe assumption to make would be saying they’re uneducated (as if they could pass the 4th grade)
If spotted, please report to the authorities, notifying them that they are possible smack addicts, or potential, degenerate Chaka Khan look-alikes.
Imagine a woman that wears skinny clothes, bad looking heels & fishnet stalkings, blasts Drake or Waka off her phone, would go out of her way as to cop CD’s from these artists, has a bad hairdo, looks immensely disgusting as a human being, and would rather spend her time maintaining her looks, communicating among her folk, and being a jobless, gold-digging bum for the rest of her days, not even bothering to get herself a good shower, a paying career, and a damned effort to earn a diploma.
That, my comrades, is a prime notoriety of a ratchet.
“
What about “cracker” and “honky” and “redneck” and “whitey” and “white privilege”? Those words are all offensive too.
Michigan used to be a pretty good engineering school.
Too bad.
I smoked a fag as I pondered the crazy day I had. I hoped I wouldn’t be gypped by the mechanic as he insanely worked on the retarded ignition and slipping tranny. Oh well, I should be gay the car made it to the shop at all with a raghead blocking the leak.
It’s the best I could do. Sorry, couldn’t find a new use for “gypped”. Maybe I’ll get lucky and the mechanic is an illegal alien from Uranus.
Shut the **** up, you gay tranny fag illegal alien. This crazy, insane idea is something a ghetto raghead would gyp up. How retarded.
They can die, they just cannot talk about it.
At a department of USC where I was, the wacko commie lib hag told me that I shouldn’t talk at all unless it was work related. I ignored her edict and was about to quit anyway. I generally spoke when spoken to. I wished she had put it in writing but I was at my wit’s end and so burned out.
