I very much doubt that book-burning actually bothers you...well maybe next they'll start burning books they find Offensive.
where have we seen that done before. ? and then after that they can start jailing dissenters for speaking "WORDS" or speak ill WORDS about your masters in University, Government, etc: like they do in Iran, China, Cuba, etc.
the drip drip drip of LOSING YOUR FREEDOMS is dripping mighty fast anymore
just STAND by and say nothing
And if you want the grade you give them what they want. A good lesson to learn - He holds the gold makes the rules...Rather PC but it's her class so follow her rules. I hate PC BTW....
Washington State University's "Introduction to Comparative Ethnic Studies" joins UCLA and UC Berkeley in banning certain offensive terms.
Why would anyone want to offend the largest minority (about 25 million eligible voters) group in the country?
According to a report from Campus Reform, one Washington State University professor said she will dock points from students who use the terms âillegal alienâ or âillegalsâ in written assignments.
Rebecca Fowler is a member of the critical culture, gender & race studies department at WSU, where she is also a PhD candidate in American Studies.

According to the course syllabus for her fall 2015 Introduction to Comparative Ethnic Studies, the phrases are unacceptable for use in her classroom.
Per the syllabus:
Not âillegal alienâ or âillegalsâ but âundocumentedâ migrants/immigrants/persons. Note that the Associated Press (AP) has determined not to use it: âThe Stylebook no longer sanctions the term âillegal immigrantâ or the use of âillegalâ to describe a person. Instead, it tells users that âillegalâ should describe only an action, such as living in or immigrating to a country illegally.â
She told Campus Reform that âthe term âillegal alienâ has permeated dominant discourses that circulate in the news to the extent that our society has come to associate ALL unauthorized border crossings with those immigrants originating from countries south of our border.â
The phrases are not the only ones Fowler tells her students to avoidâalso on the list are âcoloredâ and âthe white man,â (opt instead, she writes, for âwhite society,â âwhite men,â or âwhite males.â) Students who use these phrase in written assignments will lose one grade point per use.

I think most of these jackasses do this stuff for attention.
you don't have the right to be offendedExcept for the fact that the LISTED words are NOT offensive.Relate the OP's selection with the entire syllabus.
Have to use sensible language in a sensitive class subject.
Makes sense. Those who don't like it get to not like it. Don't enroll in the class.
You don't get to determine what is or is not offensive to other people.
Everyone has the right to be offended, and no one has complete control over what offends them.
This whole thread is nothing more than an exercise in outrage and offense over what this teacher has said.
OK, let's put it another way. I have the right to disregard your outrage
2015 Washington State University syllabus, from page 4, my bolds:
Gross generalizations, stereotypes, and derogatory/oppressive language are not acceptable. Use of racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic, classist, or generally offensive language in class or submission of such material will not be tolerated. (This includes âThe Man,â âColored People,ââIllegals/Illegal Aliens,ââTrannyâ and so on or referring to women/men as females or males) If I see it or hear it, I will correct it in class since it can be a learning moment for many students. Repeated use of oppressive and hateful language will be handled accordingly - including but not limited to removal from the class without attendance or participation points, failure of the assignment, and - in extreme cases - failure for the semester.

Violating my freedom of speech....
If a college can allow students to offend me (and countless others) by burning our Flag, or denigrating my race, time about is fair play. A grade in a class is about knowledge of subject matter, not how well you can be brainwashed by some Liberal twit.
