one song writer asked for 'words i can dance to'. this writer, tom woods, who i know nothing about presents some words you're no longer free to use, and it appears to be a serious presentation of the continuing stupidity of the politically correct we face daily;
You may recall Stanford University as the place that made the life of Jay Bhattacharya, professor of medicine, rather difficult, because he committed the unforgivable crime of being right about lockdowns and the rest of the madness.
Well, the place is apparently worse than you thought.
Something called the Elimination of Harmful Language Initiative recently proposed eliminating a substantial number of words and terms from the campus vocabulary.
These words are oppressive and offensive. Not to normal people, whose sensitivities are never taken into account, but to the emotional hypochondriacs who relish playing the victim role.
So:
From now on a “blind study” should be called a “masked study,” because the original term “unintentionally perpetuates that disability is somehow abnormal or negative, furthering an ableist culture.”
Is this a joke?
I can assure you that if I were blind, I would absolutely be describing my condition as abnormal and negative.
Instead of saying “confined to a wheelchair,” we should say “person who uses a wheelchair,” since “users of wheelchairs often find them to be an essential tool for their freedom instead of thinking of them as a prison.”
All right, let’s do a little test: how many of you who do not need to be in a wheelchair to get around, nevertheless use one because they’re “an essential tool for your freedom”?
Obviously you use a wheelchair only because you have to, which means, if I may commit a Stanford faux pas, you are confined to a wheelchair.........more........
