'Government Bans Words' Seems Like a Free Speech Issue

After years of hysteria about free speech on college campuses, state legislatures are actually trying to police what people can discuss in schools.

Yes, the extreme right can be as stupid as the extreme left. The words are written by super WOKE TYPES, but it is a free country and this is not 1984.

Yea man, "equity" was just something the super wokies made up.

If you look at that list of words, and think they are mostly just things made up by the woke left, you need to brush up on your English.

Interesting that racism is not banned, but colorism is.

Whiteness is banned, but not blackness.

I learned about SEL and DEI when I was in college for education in like 2004. This is absurd.

EXTREME BOTH SIDES!

No one I know is against equal treatment. Other than the NAZIs and the KKK most people are against racism.
The genesis of all this words stems from frustration because whites are still ahead . Economic parity is not a reality. I wish there was a better non antagonistic way to fix this problem.

It's only antagonistic because white privilege deniers have their panties in a bunch.

They aren't going to give up privilege without a fight. That doesn't mean that both sides are to blame for their being a fight.

What does a white person looks like without the privilege? What happens if a white person loses the privilege? Can you help me here? Describe a white person that has lost privilege. How does that person functions in America?

I'll be honest... I'm fine with most of those words not being used in secondary/high school courses. Although banning words like 'equity,' 'equitable,' 'racial prejudice,' and 'racial supremacy' is moronic. Unless they don't plan on teaching about Nazi Germany and the Klan... which would be irresponsible.

I think the intention of the legislation is to inflame people.

If they had just listed about half those words, there wouldn’t be many people mad enough for it to even become an issue.

They went overboard to make sure their base had some vocal opposition to get riled up against.

 

[MT15]

They banned “intersection”? This is patently ridiculous and shouldn’t be allowed to go into effect.

Yep

But also we’ve been told The Left is attempting censor speech they dont agree with, so waiting for the condemnation.

I believe the words and the anti-racism textbooks should stay.
