P-Correctness gone haywire

Lecturers have been banned from using the phrases ‘mankind’ and ‘man-made’ as part of a university’s clampdown on ‘gendered language’.

Cardiff Metropolitan University says the ‘politically correct’ words should be used to ‘promote an atmosphere in which all students and staff feel valued’.
The rules are laid out in the institution’s Equal Opportunities Policy, which warns contraventions could result in disciplinary action".

Not bad at all, but while at it shouldn't they rewrite the Bible also?

Doing things in a hodgepodge way will only cause confusion if not resistance.

Pretty soon it will be politically incorrect to have a penis.
