If you’d like to see startling examples of political correctness theory running amok, you need look no further than America’s liberal university system. The nation’s higher learning institutes have long been progenitors of PC concepts and policies, but matters now appear to have reached new levels of absurdity – at least at the University of New Hampshire.
In late July, news reports surfaced regarding a “Bias-Free Language Guide” posted on the UNH website. The online guide consisted of recommendations to avoid using “problematic” terms, such as “American,” “illegal aliens” and “senior citizen”. These are just a few examples taken from a long list of words deemed to be biased by the university.
CampusReform.org, an education watchdog site, initially broke the story. It quickly gained so much media attention that UNH President Mark Huddleston felt it necessary to distance himself from the university’s own published stance, saying: “I am troubled by many things in the language guide.”
