Colorado State University: 'Avoid' using words 'Americans,' 'America'

CSU lists both “American” and “America” as non-inclusive words "to avoid," due to the fact that America encompasses more than just the U.S. By referring to the U.S. as America, the guide claims that one “erases other cultures and depicts the United States as the dominant American country.” The school suggests using “U.S. citizen” or “person from the U.S.” as substitutes.

Dear CSU,
I just received my bill for tuition and books, lab fees, etc. I noted that it was denominated in Dollars. Dollar is a non-inclusive monetary unit. As such, I am paying you the 5,000 in Pesos.
Thank you for your understanding and inclusiveness.

I wonder if Colorado State receives any federal grants or federal funding? It’s time to pull and reallocate to a more deserving cause.

Note to parents of high schoolers:
Avoid spending thousands of dollars on colleges like this.

...and remember this is the same "school" that employs a faculty member named Poon who promotes violence against her political opponents:

Well, we're the 2nd largest and most populous on the western hemisphere. Also the largest economy on Earth. And the largest military. Yeah safe to say we're pretty friggin dominant.

We need a far eastern Pacific Ocean asteroid impact. One about a quarter mile wide will do.

That’s actually been stated for decades.
When I was in grade school I was taught that referring to America rather than to the United States was vague and incorrect, due to the existence of other North American countries.
Granted, the teachers who told us that were being respectful/patriotic towards the US, not white knighting for illegal immigrants.

So we need to know who is a US citizen...
How does this not make their brain hurt?

Hmmm, I sure bet CSU receives plenty of funding from the AMERICAN GOVERNMENT and not the Mexican, Guatemalan, Peruvian, etc. Morons!

Other words from their list:
Basket Case
The Blind / The Deaf / Eye for an Eye
Take the cake/cakewalk
Freshman
He or She
Ladies and Gentlemen
Male/Female
Long time no see
Peanut Gallery
Rule of thumb
And my favorite:
Starving / I’m Starving / I’m Broke
When used in place of simple saying “I’m hungry” or “I’m low on cash right now”, these terms appropriate real situations of hardship and can cause harm to individuals who are experiencing extreme poverty or hunger crisis.

God bless America
wait, waht...I hafta change that? Okay
ahem...
God bless the United States of america
what..still wrong?
okay....
Deity of your choice bless the United States of America
Land that I have ambivalent yet somewhat pleasant feeling for
Stand beside her..or him..or the queer thing
And guide her..him..it
Through the night (or day) with the light from above or below or off to the side
this song is gonna be exhausting!

The educational system from top to bottom is an indoctrination center for our children. These institution need a purge and it can’t start soon enough...
