BREAKING NEWS – Concord, New Hampshire – The president of the University of New Hampshire Mark Huddleston, said he is troubled and offended by many parts of a “bias-free language guide” posted on the school’s website, particularly a suggestion that using the word “American” is problematic because it fails to recognize South America. One section warns against the terms “older people, elders, seniors, senior citizens”. It suggests “people of advanced age” as preferable, though it notes that some have “reclaimed” the term “old people”. Other preferred terms include “person of material wealth” instead of rich, “person who lacks advantages that others have” instead of poor and “people of size” to replace the word overweight. Huddleston then said that the individuals that came up with this idea should be referred to as “having all the required customary characteristics to be objectively labeled as intensely unconventional thinkers” rather than “complete idiots”.
