The U.S. is the only country that has the word “America” in it’s official name.

[E]ven though these guidelines are suggested and not mandatory

Seems than they had someone who remembered we have a First Amendment in America.

My grandfather, a 1st generation American served n WWI - on the line

Dad and Uncle served in WWI and Korea conflict. Uncle Ed (RIP)had 2 PH for wounds received on the battlefield.

I served in the AF for 23 years - from the end of Vietnam (72) thru and past GW1 (94)

My son pulled two tours in Irag as a USMC door kicker

I’ll say what I want and live with the fallout. Eff a bunch of college snowflakes and just plain flakes.

[ ‘America’ and ‘American’ Listed Among Words to Avoid at Colorado State University ]

Well of course. Destroying America is a major goal of the Democratic Party these days. That’s why they voted for the Lying Kenyan in 2008 and 2012.

Does this mean Native Americans can’t say that anymore?

These fools are sickening.

It has been going on for some time, but schools no longer teach “American” history. It is now called “United States” history, because the attempt is to erase the memory of our “American” identity.

I have been unable to find any link to a CSU website confirming the ‘not-to-be-spoken’ words.

This report along with other reports link to:

https://collegian.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Inclusive-Language-Guide_10_30_18.pdf

The Rocky Mountain Collegian states on their website:

“This publication is not an official publication of Colorado State University, but is published by an independent corporation using the name ‘The Rocky Mountain Collegian’ pursuant to a license granted by CSU. Visit collegian.com/corporate for more information.”

While I do not doubt CSU administration is crazy enough to ban “America”, I would be good to see on an official CSU website the list of ‘bad’ words not to be spoken on campus.

The school suggests using “U.S. citizen” or “person from the U.S.” as substitutes.

- -

I’d suggest the term “person of U.S.”.

A friend of mine is Athletic Directer at CSU. I’m sure he thinks this is ridiculous.

About 12 years ago, The Rocky Mountain Collegian published a full page with just two words on it: “Fuck Bush”. Haven’t had a thing to do with them since then, and I let them know why whenever I get calls from them regarding alumni activities. (CSU, E.E., class of ‘85).

So let me understand.

From now on African-Americans are just a bunch of blacks and Native-Americans are just a bunch of indians.

This is just pure Newspeak like Orwell described it. All radical, authoritarian leftist societies eventually get around to rewriting their language for political purposes.

Of course, even the members of the 13 original colonies of what was then called British America often referred to themselves as American. This is just an attempt to rewrite English to make it conform to the standards found in Spanish and to wash away our history.
