Boy, South Dakota really challenging Tennessee and Texas for shittiest State in the Union eh? Haven't even heard about Florida in months because of these bozos.
Florida just banned lab grown meat and removed climate change targets from their books. So, the usual for them.
Mississippi is still worse than all of them, but it's not for lack of all of them trying 😮💨
How will employees of the University of South Dakota write emails without using pronouns?
This sounds ripe for malicious compliance.
I'm convinced they don't know what pronouns are.
Almost always the case when it comes to banning pronouns
Sorry, you're just gonna have to guess what gender Professor Smith is because asking is now illegal.
Assuming pronouns is also forbidden. Professor Smith shall always be addressed in the third person.
Writing emails without pronouns is harder than guessing Professor Smith's gender.
btw you're fired for using pronouns in that comment.
We don’t want any of that identity politics, so let’s just ban identities.
I’m no expert, but this doesn’t sound completely legal. It’ll be nice when the assholes that wrote/enforce this policy get the "correction" they deserve.
