 College encourages students to ignore grammar to support 'gender diverse folx'

    Mount Holyoke Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion shared a post informing students that the pronoun “they” is grammatically correct in the singular use.

    However, the post admitted that even if singular “they” isn’t grammatically correct, it’s better to support “gender diverse folx.”

Inability to communicate clearly and efficiently tends to be a hindrance in getting a good job and in career advancement.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

If we read comments at Facebook or Twitter, I suspect we've all seen the results of this teaching, namely that people simply cannot express themselves coherently. More often than not, I just keep staring at a post, wondering for the life of me what the person was trying to say.

Why is "folx" better than the gender-neutral and inoffensive "folks," anyway?  :shrug:

1)  "People judge you by the words you use."  Wise words from an old radio commercial.

2)  "Newspeak" is doubleplus ungood.

You know,the only way to stop this is for a bunch of parents to get together,pool their money,and hire Archie Bunkers favorite law firm of "Seven Savage Jews" to file suit against the schools in court based oN fraud. They sent their children there to get educated,and instead they got indoctrinated.

Name the Dean and the school board members in the suit as co-defendants so they are also held financially responsible.

Win ONE case like this,and watch the rest of them immediately lose their radical communist POV and switch back to actually teaching the subjects they are supposed to teach.

Providing they even know how,of course.

Pull the accreditation at that joint. If they can't even teach English, a degree from that place is and should be worth less.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

One grammar class  (English 200 something, 3 credits) was mandatory for graduation for all Liberal Arts students at my college.

We had to have a year of Freshman English and a literature course, total of 9 credits.
I took the AP English test in High School, and received credit for the two semesters of Freshman English, so I only had the literature course to take.
