Awful, disgusting, repulsive.


Why would anyone, EVER, attempt to ban speech? Because a small group of people find it offensive? Thats why we have a first amendment anyways.


Every council member who voted for this should consider resignation.

It's incredible how we are now destroying free speech because we are so afraid of hurting someones feelings.

Some day when you go to school or get a job you will realize that for most of us the US Constitution is irrelevant when it comes to our day to day behavior.  Regardless of what is written on a piece of paper in Washington DC there are tons of perfectly legal reasons I could get fired.  By the time you are pulling out the Constitution to defend what you are doing you've crossed dozens of lines already.

First off, I both work and study, so take your condescending tone somewhere else. Secondly, there is no logic in justifying wrong with other wrong, sorry.

lol, the government encouraging its employees to use more respectful words = destroying free speech

This is why no one takes the libertarian conception of "liberty" seriously.

Maybe in the world yo live in. But to the rest of the country, the idea of 'removing words' is an assault on our free speech.
