A political science professor at Butler University asks students to disregard their “American-ness, maleness, whiteness, heterosexuality, middle-class status” when writing and speaking in the classroom – a practice the school’s arts and sciences dean defended as a way to negate students’ inherent prejudices.
The syllabus of the course at Butler, a small Midwestern liberal arts institution in Indianapolis, spells out that students should use “inclusive language” because it’s “a fundamental issue of social justice.”
“Language that is truly inclusive affirms sexuality, racial and ethnic backgrounds, stages of maturity, and degrees of limiting conditions,” the syllabus states, referencing a definition created by the United Church of Christ.
The syllabus of the class, called Political Science 201: Research and Analysis, goes on to ask students “to write and speak in a way that does not assume American-ness, maleness, whiteness, heterosexuality, middle-class status, etc. to be the norm.” It is taught by a black, female professor.
In an interview with The College Fix, Jay Howard, dean of Butler’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, denied this practice essentially presumes every student who walks through the door is a racist or misogynist.

femini$$m-samesex-atheism destroying the world
stop the filthy dirty gender-sex-war on children&fathers, heteros and normal families !!
Oh, so now the communist professors are asking all students not to be a person,just a brainless, mindless machine with no emotions,no real opinion,just a zombie?
That is scary and to think I always thought Butler was one of our best institutions here in Indy! I am so happy my daughter and I went to IU, although I guess now they’re all pretty much the same every where.
Very sad.
I say they are welcomed to do so… elsewhere. Don’t like being American: Planes come and go daily and one-way tickets can be fairly inexpensive so make you escape now.
if you are not proud of who and what you are then how can you be the best that you can be
This is why we are in the situation we are in now! Our children are being indoctrinated! They are starting with our children so we will have no chance at all to recover “America”. I’m starting to think this is a losing battle…
to deny who you are is to deny life
