  1. The University of California wants to ban the phrase “melting pot“. Also on the ban list…

    any word uttered by anyone not given explicit permission by the University to speak from a set list of pre-approved words and phrases as established by the appropriate “Victims” groups as recognized by the University specifically. Articles may be exempted provided they are not coupled in anyway with a Noun, Verb or Adjective not on the pre-approved list. Adverbs may be used until an ultimate determination is provided by the University.

    Well, that would probably be included IF anyone attending and/or teaching at the university knew the difference between a noun, verb, adjective, adverb, etc.

    I went to law school at the University of California, and lived in Berkeley. I met several people (not in the law school, they tended to be more serious) who thought it was unbelievably clever to say, “Truth, justice OR the American way.”

    Living in Berkeley taught me to despise liberals for the whining, self-obsessed, entitled, reality-denying @ssholes they are.
    Which brings me to the “also banned” phrase:

    . . . “common sense.”
