Michigan State University's 'inclusive language guide' discourages using words like 'America,' 'gifts,' 'bunnies' - TheBlaze

The guide aligns with the university's diversity, equity, and inclusion strategy and provides language recommendations for students and staff to "support belonging."

It advises Spartans to avoid "seemingly innocuous idioms or words" that could be perceived as "racist, sexist or ableist in nature, such as 'cake walk,' ‘peanut gallery,' ‘grandfather clause,' 'tipping point,' 'rule of thumb' or 'bonkers.'"
