Stanford University has admitted that it may have "missed the mark" after its campaign to socially engineer the way people talk and the words they use was brought to light and roundly ridiculed.
What are the details?
Stanford University recently embraced the recommendations of the so-called "Elimination of Harmful Language Initiative" and published a master list of allegedly "harmful" words and phrases. That list was broken up into the following categories: "Ableist, Ageism, Culturally Appropriative, Gender-based, Imprecise Language, Institutionalized Racism, Person-First, and Violent."
