By The FirstA new report from the Wall Street Journal is highlighting the progressive agenda at Stanford University. The Ivy League Institution is now recommending people avoid the term “American” because it is “biased.”
From Stanford University:
The goal of the Elimination of Harmful Language Initiative is to eliminate* many forms of harmful language, including racist, violent, and biased (e.g., disability bias, ethnic bias, ethnic slurs, gender bias, implicit bias, sexual bias) language in Stanford websites and code.
The purpose of this website is to educate people about the possible impact of the words we use. Language aects dierent people in dierent ways. We are not attempting to assign levels of harm to the terms on this site. We also are not attempting to address all informal uses of language.
One term on the chopping block: American
The school recommends people use ‘US Citizen.’
“This term oen refers to people from the United States only, thereby insinuating that the US is the most important country in the Americas (which is actually made up of 42 countries),” writes Stanford.
