A Minnesota college has launched a campaign to warn students about the “oppressive impact” of offensive language such as “wuss” and “you guys.”
The More Than Words: Inclusive Language Campaign was created by Macalester College's Department of Multicultural Life in order to "raise awareness about the importance of using inclusive language." The campaign includes a series of YouTube videos and posters around campus.
“I don’t consciously do it, but I’ll say ‘You guys!’ or ‘We should do something together, guys!’ and I don’t even consciously...like, usually I'm addressing a group of all girls,” a Macalester College University student said in a video in August.
“I joke around with my friends like ‘Don’t be a wuss, don’t be a girl,’ come on just do this,” another student said. “I never really took the time to think about what that meant, and how loaded that phrase was.”

Absolutely stupid! Dumb Liberal colleges.
This is an Orwellian attempt to censor free speech.
"Kid" and "Kids" should be included, they are baby goats not our children, students, patients, friends, etc., etc.,
You're an idiot!
Seriously you guys? Don't be a bunch of wussies and fall for this politically correct B.S.
The wussification of America. No surprise it begins on the college campus.
