Student Loses Credit for Using 'Mankind' in English Paper

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another case of trendy uninformed douchebags screwing themselves over it's all coming right back at them. Oh the irony screwing yourself.

If the diction requirements were part of the syllabus or other published qualifications, tough to be the student.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

I hated this way back in the 70s.

Long past time to include women.

"humankind"

Deal with it.

At what age did you first realize you were a homosexual?

Because one prof in Flagstaff, Az doesn't comprehend that "mankind" refers to the gender neutral collective of the human race is no reason to paint with such a W I D E brush. Your conclusion is insufferably STUPID and illogical!

 

[shockedcanadian]

Some of this is just ingrained in our society and it's only offensive to people with too much time on their hands, First Wold problems as it were.

Ever refer to your car as a she? "Here are my keys to my car, but take good care of her" It is used as a term of endearment and special respect.

Can you imagine someone messing with your wife and feeling you shouldn't stand up for her because it would "belittle her" or make her feel inferior? Of course not.

Some of these people mean well, but I will end it with that...they mean well...

 

[my2¢]

So you're saying the professor objects to mankind but not humanity?

Well the more morons like this get offended over everything and anything their a little to demented to realize soon we will have no freedom, just like t hose wonderful communist countries. They are a bit to retarded to realize that though.

Obama's cult following were brainwashed right into :

Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, the purported founders of communism, established in the 19th century a government paradigm that transformed Europe and other regions in the eastern hemisphere, adding to an already expansive repertoire of political ideologies. And the seemingly farfetched assertion that communism could someday take control of America seems, quite simply, unfathomable. But is it really that improbable, or furthermore, has it already ensnared certain sectors of society?

 

[ScienceRocks]

This is complete bullshit...

Mankind = humanity

LMFAO!!!! Omg now that was a good one, I'll be laughing half the night over that one. The jerk professor probably would have liked it though.

 

[aris2chat]

???????????
Good grief

 

[JOSweetHeart]

If the student was given an F because of their use of that word, I would demand that the teacher be suspended if not fired. If they want to take off a point for the use of that word, that is one thing, but to go any farther in my opinion is just a teacher abusing their authority.

God bless you and the student always!!!

NAU professor gets hate calls after docking a point on student's essay for using 'mankind'

Our local news covered the story tonight, they spoke with professor and student. What kills me is the professor's comment about the hate mail and messages the school is receiving, “I’m not sure she knows what the backlash has been and how damaging her actions have been.” Say what? I haven't a clue how one hangs this on the student.
