Amy Martin, the administrator who oversees the campaign, however, dismissed such concerns, saying the posters simply provide students with suggestions of proper language.

Martin said the idea was born after a series of LGBT forums where staff heard students use “non-inclusive” language. She applied for funding from the Office of Diversity Inclusion and launched the campaign after being granted $15,000.

“I think so far it has created some interesting conversations on campus,” Martin told Campus Reform.

"Conversation" is the new liberal buzzword for "shut up".

How soon before jails are built on campus to incarcerate those who use words from the “banned” list — a list some group like LGT or some faceless bureaucrat has deemed merits harsh punishments if they’re uttered.

It also opens a very dangerous door, as the list will grow and grow and grow.
