According to a rubric obtained by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/upennstatesman.org\/2021\/03\/10\/penn-nursing-preferred-pronouns\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Statesman<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a student-run publication, the anatomy class final requires students to ask the preferred pronouns of an imaginary patient.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the final exam, students must submit a video-recording of themselves completing a full-body examination of an imaginary patient. The rubric tells students to begin their interaction \u201cby stating full, preferred pronouns, and title.\u201d They must ask the patient for their \u201cpreferred pronouns\u201d as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the rubric, five points may be deducted from the sixty-point exam if a student fails to identify the patient\u2019s preferred pronouns. That\u2019s nearly an entire letter grade.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a common practice at the prestigious nursing school. Another course syllabus titled \u201cIntegrated Pathophysiology, Pharmacology, and Therapeutics\u201d declares that students who refer to patients by their preferred pronouns are showcasing \u201cprofessionalism.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The woke gender-identity policy has also been found at the esteemed Mayo Clinic. The Daily Wire <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/mayo-clinic-debuts-woke-policies-including-wearable-pronoun-buttons\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reported<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that the Mayo Clinic introduced wearable buttons for employees to display their preferred pronouns. The company updated its \u201cDress and Decorum Policy\u201d to approve the pronoun buttons. It also updated its \u201cEmail Signature Policy\u201d to allow employees to include their preferred pronouns in their email signatures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Several years ago, the Mayo Clinic adapted its restrooms to be gender-neutral. The move has reportedly been unpopular among female staff as the restrooms display signs that read, \u201cFor the consideration of others, please lower the lid.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The indoctrination of \u201cpreferred pronoun\u201d usage has become increasingly popular on college campuses. University LBTQ resource centers put out pronoun guides, for example, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.campusreform.org\/article?id=10700\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">University of California-Davis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> put out a pronoun guide that lists all the \u201cgender-neutral\u201d pronouns including \u201cyo,\u201d \u201cxie,\u201d \u201cey,\u201d \u201cen,\u201d \u201cve,\u201d \u201cco,\u201d and \u201cze.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a man referred to themselves as \u201cyo\u201d and you wanted to say, \u201che likes hanging out with his friends,\u201d students would be required to say, \u201cyo likes hanging out with yos friends.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pronoun push has also made its way into law schools. The Georgetown Law School\u2019s Student Bar Association sent an email to students requesting that they put their preferred pronouns next to their names online.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/campus\/georgetown-student-group-asks-future-lawyers-to-add-pronouns-to-their-names\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Washington Free Beacon<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, students were encouraged to put their preferred pronouns in their social media biographies, next to their names on Zoom, and in their email signatures. The school requested students to so \u201cin solidarity and support\u201d of transgender and \u201cnonbinary\u201d students.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pronoun discussion is also breaking into the broader American culture as social justice warriors from college campuses join the ranks of corporate America. Hasbro, the toy company, recently <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/hasbro-rolls-out-gender-neutral-mr-potato-head-toy\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">changed the brand name<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head to \u201cPotato Head\u201d to be more gender-inclusive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
