Do not allow others to dictate the debate by injecting their own politically correct language like: higher order thinking skills, site-based management or gender norming. It's a smokescreen. Insist on using plain English in your debates. If your school is producing stupid children -- say so.
—Tom DeWeese, American education activist.

Old habits, unrelated to sustainable development, can be eradicated only if replaced with something else. Therefore, real social and civil consciousness must be replaced by “civic competence”; authentic relations between sexes by sustainable equality; educated society by “knowledge-based society”, etc. The popular consent is affirmed by accepting the new rules and, above all, new language. If you find yourself irritated by obligation to apply exclusively female gender pronouns in academic texts or by replacing history by “herstory”, rest assured that your sentiment is well founded and in fact deadly serious. — Kali Tribune English, Agenda 21: An Introduction
