Big Win For Reason In War On Pronouns

Social identity politics have gotten of hand in our country with people referring to themselves in the plural form like “them” and “they.” But those are just the easier versions as some people want to be referred to as zir and zie. So as you might expect liberal universities have taken to these ideologies whole-heartedly.  Prof. Nicholas Meriwether’s university, Shawnee State University, tried to force him to use gender pronouns. Meriwether offered a compromise to instead just refer to the people with different pronouns by their last names instead. The school at first agreed and then later felt that he was discriminating against the students, demanding Meriwether just use their preferred pronoun. Meriwether refused and sued. But in a surprising turn of events after fighting it up to the circuit court he has finally won.

The court’s conclusions provide new ways to handle the gender identity movement, empowering the average American.

1. “The case provides further support for the view that the First Amendment potentially protects public university professors’ teaching decisions (at least in some situations).
2. Under the court’s reasoning, the First Amendment would even more clearly protect against liability imposed by the government as sovereign (e.g., through the civil liability system or through administrative fines) rather than just as an employer.
3. Much of the language in the opinion will also be used to support other kinds of academic freedom claims, for instance, based on faculty research, faculty outside writing (from Tweets to blog posts to op-eds), and university student speech.
4. But whether a university may forbid faculty members from referring to students using the pronoun that the student rejects remains an open question. This case only deals with faculty members declining to use the pronoun the student prefers and using the student’s name instead.”

So now teachers that don’t feel comfortable with trying to remember the trendy pronouns can instead just go by a person’s last name without the fear of losing their job in a very liberal field. But this should never have happened, the university was overstepping. This had nothing to do with the subject the professor was teaching, the university admins were just trying to impose their beliefs on teachers and enforce gender identity politics.
