Colorado State University placed the words “American” and “America” on its list of language to avoid, claiming they are “not inclusive.”

Townhall reports the school’s Inclusive Communications Task Force compiled a list of words which they say is to help those on campus foster “inclusion, respect, and social justice.” 

CSU lists both “American” and “America” as non-inclusive words "to avoid," and suggests using “U.S. citizen” or “person from the U.S.” as substitutes.

The move is part of a growing trend in some parts of the country.

The city of Berkeley voted last week to change all official city documents so there are no gendered words.
