So will Neil Armstrong’s words now be held in contempt and need to be removed from history

You named your bear Teddy?

Please at least tell me Teddy wears a pink tutu

Da, you will write what we told you to write, you are free to express what you want unless it differs from what we want you to learn. There can be no compromise. Failure to do so will result in your volunteering to work in the quarries in northern Alaska, so far north you can see the gulags of Siberia from your front door.

He should be penalized for writing that sentence, not using the word "man."

Agree. None of my high school English teachers would have let that sentence pass. Sheesh.

So, common usage easily understood by all but dense professors is now a grade reducer...

I have a feeling that the student would have gotten a negative reaction from the prof even without the PC faux pas................

Yes Armstrong’s words will be struck from history.

We already see such censorship happening, so we can claim to be politically correct.

At the World War II memorial, the quote from Roosevelt’s speech about seeing us through to ultimate victory omitted his saying “so help me God” in that speech. Apparently Roosevelt’s invoking God was too offensive to those who set up that memorial. So we will just pretend that a president in a dark hour of history made no reference to God.

And AN ESSAY ON HOW BAD pRESIDENT tRUMP IS, RIDDLED WITH GRAMMATICAL AND SPELLING ERRORS, WOULD STILL RECEIVE AN “a”

And an essay lambasting President Trump, riddled with grammatical and spelling errors, would still receive an “A+”.

Colleges and universities today, and for the last 60 years or so, have been set up solely to make money, not deliver a quality education.................

Poetic license is dead.

It is up to us to stop the madness. Push back every chance you get.

The way I see it, Man is a creature. Human is more a status. Not all men (mankind) are human. If fact, fewer of them are born every day. Just look around you....
