The sexism that professor Nancy Bishop hopes to squelch includes words such as “mankind” and the word “he” when used to describe a non-gendered person.
“Thanks to evolution, generalized pronouns and other biased references are no longer acceptable in any class,” warns Bishop in a syllabus obtained by The College Fix. “You may NOT use ‘he’ or ‘him’ or ‘man’ to refer to both men and women. ‘Mankind’ can be replaced by ‘humans’ or ‘humankind,’ and ‘he’ can be ‘she or he.'”

Time to be looking for another institution of higher learning
Time to clean out the Marxist and kook (usually tenured) professors. I know that would eliminate about 50% but there are lots of qualified people looking for higher level teaching jobs.
....AND WE WONDER WHY THIS GENERATION IS SO SCREWED UP?
So we should call them he or she.......what if we can't tell? Seriously there are some you just can not tell if they are male or female.
We were in a Wal*Mart on Sunday afternoon. There was a couple in front of us. I could not figure out if it was a lesbian couple, or a straight couple. I find it very scary when you can't tell if they are same sex or not. It is their business, just raises questions on my part.
This "professor" must think he in is charge of the world. He must be miserable to be around.
12:26 Why is that scary to you? Don't really see how it affects you at all, unless you plan on having sex with them.
So they'll be ditching classic literature because it uses those sexist, oppressive pronouns?
Oscar Wilde, James Baldwin and Gertrude Stein are undoubtedly rolling over in their graves.
Control their language, control their mind.
From the US communist education website-proposals for Action In these circumstances, we are encouraged by the developing broad support for public education across the nation led by organized labor and civil rights organizations. The Communist Party USA therefore resolves to support, actively participate in and offer leadership to the struggle to defend, expand and improve public schools nationwide....This is the mantra for most college professors who despise this countries principals. COMMUNISM is better
What a nut job, and the kid's parents are paying for this BS

I guess you never heard of manners. What happens if you bump into them.....or they drop something. Do you say excuse me what ever you are. It would be nice to know where they are a sir or Ms.
just refer to them as IT
I can understand consciousness-raising as a part of the curriculum for gender studies, but there are times when it's hard to find a politically correct term when referring to a manhole cover.
another lib against freedom of speech
