Not Politically correct words

They have added 'politically correct' and P.C. to their not publically correct list. I searched for a website which didn't have a thousand freaking scripts to run and adds to appear and failed; The best I could find was an piece from the New Your Post's Editorial Board

http://nypost.com/2015/10/22/campus-speech-cops-ban-politically-correct/

and a fun piece about the irony of politically correct not being politically correct.

A search of The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s “Just Words” campaign will get you lots of laughs at the expense of lots of advertising.

I am sure those that lean left and those that lean right will find fodder for their beliefs. Those of us in the middle will find fun in the responses, if any, to this thread.

More censorship in the name of being... what are they nominating to replace "politically correct?"

Perhaps "Inclusive Excellence" in honor of their group?

Inclusive Excellence
noun

an overwrought exhibit of (or failure to exhibit) political correctness.
"The teacher's union representative decried the command to go back and reorder newly edited textbooks for the third time this year. A new group of trigger warnings were now required in the name of inclusive excellence."

Since a majority of the (71% in a current poll down from 79% a few years ago) of adults in America think political correctness is a problem in America - wouldn't exclusive be better than inclusive?

I translate that such surveys meaning some (probably a small percentage) part of the 71% are "bigots" or “inordinately traditionalists” and some (probably significant) part of the 29% includes "panderers" or ”inordinately accommodationists."

I suspect most all (except for panderers and bigots) Americans would maintain the use of words in a purgative manner is wrong.

I suspect that most Americans (except ”inordinately accommodationists" and “inordinately traditionalists”) would agree words themselves are just tools to communicate.

My suggestion would be the oxymoron "Excessive Tolerance" or "Overbearing Impartiality"

We should add Central Processing Unit to the list because it's offensive to all other processing units.
