Air Force Academy asks cadets to avoid the word "terrorist"
"These concepts enhance our effectiveness in warfare," an Academy spokesman told 'The Washington Free Beacon.'
The Air Force Academy (USAFA) is training its cadets to "use inclusive language" that prohibits them from using male and female identifiers or calling people "terrorists," according to an official presentation from the elite military school obtained by The Washington Free Beacon.
The presentation entitled, "Diversity and Inclusion: What it is, why we care and what we can do," includes a series of exercises aimed at eradicating the use of gender pronouns and reinforcing the need for a language in which the use of gendered pronouns can be avoided. "stereotypes, prejudices and micro-aggressions are avoided." Cadets are also told to avoid words like: "You guys, terrorists and colorblind."
Cadets should only use "person-centered language," such as "people with disabilities" and not "disabled." It also guides them to "include all genders" in their interactions: "All of you, team, squads, people".
