“any school or university harboring any anti-American rules or instructions shall not be eligible to receive any federal grants, contracts or funds of any kind.” Legislation such as the above needs to be enacted asap.

[Jane Austen]

This represents fanatical hatred of this country. Now way should this school receive any public funding.

Look at the bright side: These idiots are a minority and the more they push this insanity the more the help Democrats lose in 2020.

Colorado Ping ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)

[sport]

Isn't that where they legalized the use of marijuana?

[GSWarrior]

Avoid these words or else they will do what exactly?

[Mastador1]

People should post signs at the university entrances stating “now leaving America”.

[Deplorable American1776]

I’ll eliminate the anyone from being hired if they have the words ‘Graduated from Colorado State’ on their resume...

He might have better luck with jokes if he spelled it correctly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colombia

The guide states that it is not about being politically correct but instead is there to help...

Which means it's about being politically correct.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Not “Colorado State University” again? I thought that Marxist shithole had collapsed after its last anti-American screed.

[Eleutheria5]

How can so much stupid find room on just one college campus. They should dedicate another few acres, just to containing the sheer volume of stupid.

[Eleutheria5]

Various tribes used to refer to themselves as “The human beings”. Apparently, that was inclusive enough.

Cant order a Manhattan in Berkley.

Amen. God bless you for your service. I never served,my regret. My grandfather was a WW1 vet. My dad was only 13 in 1941. His older cousins, men I grew up calling ‘’uncles’’ were Army and Navy vets. WW2. ETO and the Pacific. My late father-in-law was 4th. Marines, Saipan, Tinian and Iwo Jima. They didn’t spill their guts all over those battle fronts so some little college brats can tell the rest of us we can’t be Americans and say so.

“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 their own description, America is inclusive and takes into account a couple of continents. So why can’t it be said?

[Menes]

Well, possibly this is due to the fact that neither logic nor geography might be strong intellectual points of the radical left... ;-)

[Menes]

Yes, indeed that is what I am hoping for, too: the so-called boomerang effect.
