College requires things — like going to class, studying, memorization, and taking tests.
And for some students at California’s Loyola Marymount University, it also requires wokeness.
The same goes for Christopher Miller’s students.
Fox News reported that the professor had recently revised his syllabus.
A supposedly stolen email from a Twitter account Libs of Tik Tok, the teacher told students they’ll need to perpetually attach their personal pronouns to their assignments — or else.
He claimed that he was message:
Good morning, students
Brightspace got a new syllabus. One thing everyone should be conscious of is the fact that they all must use their pronouns to identify themselves in any blog post.
This basically means that every pupil must refer to themselves as a third-person.
As I’ve indicated before, a perplexity of the pronoun craze is its nil effect on what anyone is called to their face; it literally changes nothing about person-to-person communication.
So if you’re “bunself” to me, you’ll never know. It will be easy for me to use the term.
If I consider you “kittenself,” that’s some mentioned milk you’ll never get to lap: It’ll never be anything I say — at least, so far as you’re aware.
(I call you my kitten self.
Though posting one’s pronouns doesn’t play into conversation with them, it’s definitely being adopted the country over.
At Pittsburgh’s Point Park University, a “Misgendering, Pronoun Misuse, and Deadnaming” section of its Office of Equity and Inclusion guidelines requires “any individual who has been informed of another person’s gender identity, pronouns, or chosen name” to use that designation in writing and speech. “Continued misuse of an individual’s pronouns,” a September email made clear, “could result in a violation of the Policy on Discrimination and Harassment for gender-based discrimination.”
And intent’s no excuse:
[W]e must recognize that regardless of the intent…action could be taken if a complaint is filed.
The rule was challenged by one student, who filed a petition asking to be kicked out.
The University of Pittsburgh’s putting its foot down, too. The 10,000-attendee institution’s Office for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion published a video on pronoun propriety:
In Michigan, the State Police issued a memo titled “Use of Gender Pronouns.”
“Not all persons or members identify with the gender binary of male or female,” it pointed out.
Even the Navy’s on board.
A missive from within:
A hostile working environment could result from the repeated and intentional use of the wrong name or pronoun for a transgender employee.
Back to Loyola, for those who don’t constantly indicate their pronouns, Professor Christopher promises punishment:
I’ll count [pronoun inclusion]You will receive your grade every time I check your name when I grade blogs.
You can follow the example.
This article is linked by our LMU Provost, who has also identified his pronouns. If you don’t know why it is so important, take some time to look at the following paragraphs. [an article at MyPronouns.org].

I believe some Please enter your email address “are not aware,” so here’s the article’s link.
Here’s a sample:
[T]he act of making an assumption (even if correct) sends a potentially harmful message… … [I]t can be offensive or harassing to guess at someone’s pronouns and refer to them using those pronouns if that is not how that person wants to be known.
Christopher’s rules have an impact on more than one college class.
As indicated on his bio page, the Bhagwan Mallinath Assistant Professor of Jainism and Yoga Studies teaches “Hinduism, Jainism, and Yoga” as well as “History of Modern Yoga” and “Foundations of Yoga Studies.”
Anyone who won’t post their personal pronouns, it seems, is a low-Downward Dog.

And that’s the new morality.
It’s rigid, but it’s righteous.
When it comes to wokeness, there can be no flexibility — even in Yoga class.
