Blacklisting Stanford is a Cakewalk

By -

Perhaps you’ve heard that Stanford University – – the school that doesn’t dare fire Professor Bankman and Professor Fried out of abject terror of offending any community – – has banned a variety of everyday words since they are offensive. So don’t you dare say, write, or think ANY of these, or ELSE:

  • Stupid
  • Cakewalk
  • Landlord
  • American
  • Blacklist
  • Victim
  • Peanut Gallery

Also, if for some reason the word “prostitute” comes into a conversation you are having, you are required to refer to them as “person who engages in sex work.”
