Professors at a US university have told students that they risk failing their assignments and even their semester if they use offensive or hateful language in class or submissions².

美国一所大学的教授告知学生，如果有人在课堂上或提交的作业中使用了冒犯性或仇视性的话语，他将承担作业不及格甚至挂科的风险。

Two programmes taught at Washington State University have set out clear restrictions³ upon the language students can use, banning terms such as "The Man", "Coloured People" and "Illegals/Illegal Aliens".

The terms have been forbidden by certain professors on the basis that they are "oppressive and hateful", according to one of the syllabuses⁴ reported by Campus Reform.

The "Course Notes and Policies" of the university's "Women & Popular Culture" course taught by Professor Selena Lester Breikss specifies⁵ that “Gross generalisations, stereotypes⁶, and derogatory/oppressive language are not acceptable".

"Use of racist⁷, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic, classist, or generally offensive language in class or submission¹ of such material will not be tolerated," it adds.

Breikss also bans the use of the words "male and female" in the course.

A further course entitled "Introduction to Comparative Ethics⁸ Studies" taught by Professor Rebecca Fowler also states that the use of "inappropriate terminology⁹" will impact on students' grades, "with the deduction¹⁰ of one point per incident".

Terms included in the language sanctions include "coloured", "the white man" and "illegals".

Fowler cites the Associated Press style guide saying: "The Stylebook no longer sanctions the term 'illegal immigrant' or the use of 'illegal' to describe a person … 'illegal' should describe only an action."
