A “Bias-Free Language Guide” used by the University of New Hampshire
includes “American” in a list of “problematic” words.

“American” joins “illegal alien,” “mothering,” “fathering,” and a
collection of other words that are frowned upon by the university,
education watchdog Campus Reform reported Tuesday.

The online guide suggests that students who wish to discuss a topic that
would require using “American” instead use phrases such as “U.S. citizen”
or “Resident of the U.S.”

The guide recommends against the term because it “assumes the U.S. is the
only country inside” the continents of North and South America.

UNH’s “Bias-Free Language Guide” also includes sections on how to navigate
“microaggression,” and gender issues. Those aggressions are broken down
into the categories “micro-assault,” “micro-insult,” and “micro-
invalidation.”

“Micro-aggressions hold a lot of power and especially because of their
frequency in our culture. They may appear subtle and harmless, but we must
address them if we wish to consider ourselves a truly civil society,” the
guide says, suggesting students try to use “micro-affirmations” instead.

President Mark Huddleston, the University of New Hampshire’s president,
responded Campus Reform’s story Wednesday after it went viral.

“While individuals on our campus have every right to express themselves, I
want to make it absolutely clear that the views expressed in this guide
are NOT the policy of the University of New Hampshire. I am troubled by
many things in the language guide, especially the suggestion that the use
of the term `American’ is misplaced or offensive,” Mr. Huddleston said,
The Associated Press reported.

AP reported that the guide was created by students and staff in 2013.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $18 trillion in the six
years he has been in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.

Barack Obama, reelected by the dumbest voters in the history of the United
States of America. The only American president to deliberately import a
lethal infectious disease from Africa, Ebola.

Loretta Fuddy, killed after she "verified" Obama's phony birth
certificate.

Nancy Pelosi, Democrat criminal, accessory before and after the fact to
improper vetting of Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama, a confirmed
felon using SSAN 042-68-4425, belonging to a dead man.

Obama ignored the brutal killing of an American diplomat in Benghazi, then
relieved American military officers who attempted to prevent said murder
in order to cover up his own ineptitude.

Obama continues his goal of disarming America while ObamaCare increases
insurance premiums 300% and leaves millions without health care.
