    Polo, remember when JoePa was thought to be the one guy in Coll Sports who was un-touchable? Poor bastard went downhill in a hurry.

    A section of the Introduction and Rationale of the proposal reads as follows:

    "...many terms in our lexicon carry a strong male-centric, binary character to them. Terms such as 'freshman' are decidedly male-specific, while terms such as 'upperclassmen' can be interpreted as both sexist and classist. Terms such as 'junior' and 'senior' are parallel to western male father-son naming conventions, and much of our written documentation uses he/she pronouns."

    Instead, the faculty senate recommends using "first-year," "second year," "third-year" or "fourth-year" to refer to students.
    If "freshman" is decidedly male specific, than what the hell is "woman"

    You would have to be a complete dipshit to try to figure it out because the people who thought this up obviously are dumb as fuk.

    Texas is going to teach Informed American Patriotism. If you want someone to not learn something, teach it in school.
