Years ago there was a young guy in my company who hailed from Columbia SA .. nice guy, hard worker .. he eventually took the oath and became a U.S. Citizen ...
but even before being naturalized he would always quip (for a laugh): "I'm an American .. Columbia is in South America"

We would all laugh, because he was technically correct - South as well as Central are surnamed "America" -

Unfortunately, his naturalization corresponded with the 2000 election and he was all gung-ho about voting for Hillary (NY Senate) ... but that's neither here nor there ... the main point is that if this University wants to eliminate the word "America" then it would also have to apply to the entire western hemisphere continents, not just to the US of A ... let's see how they deal with THAT conundrum (as well as the name "Columbia")

Parent’s wallets should start showing their disagreement. Granted this is Colorado but there’s bound to be some conservative parents who are getting sick and tired of this hating on America.

I suggest saying America and any repercussions from that should result in a very large lawsuit against the school. Isn’t this the school Ward Churchill taught at?

Perhaps the following words would best describe them:

Ameriphobe: one who has an irrational hatred of America and Americans. Derivatives are: Ameriphobia and Ameriphobic.

And this is what the colleges are brainwashing with. Dangerous and evil.

More info on Lauren Rodgers-—

https://rha.colostate.edu/about-us/executive-board/

The primary responsibility of the Director of Residential Development is to cultivate community and personal growth within our organization. Lauren carries out this duty by coordinating social programs for RHA and hall councils, organizing retreats and banquets, helping to transition new senators into the RHA space, and recognizing members for their contributions.

Lauren Rodgers is a third-year History Education major from Littleton, Colorado. She is excited to start teaching after three short semesters and find out what her future holds. Lauren began attending hall council meetings as a general member during her first semester, but on a whim took an appointment to be an RHA senator during spring retreat. This year, Lauren wants to further her work from last year for community building in RHA and RLP and facilitate professional and personal development among senators.

A few of Lauren’s talents include playing the flute, singing in the CSU Concert Choir, and writing lots and lots of research papers. Lauren’s favorite food is sushi, particularly yellowtail nigiri, though she would never say no to sushi of any kind.

Contact Lauren at hds_rha_residential_development@colostate.edu

So, at the Socialist Peoples’ State University of Colorado, would I refer to those born in the United States of America, as ‘USers’ instead of ‘Americans’? It seems to me that there are a lot of ‘users’ on the ‘Inclusive Communications Task Force’ and in fact, in the Administration at CSU!

I can understand her concern. After all, in NJ, isn't the correct term 'Youse Guys'? 😁

Totally insane.

I guess that don’t like Trump’s slogan either:

“Make America Great Again”
