My thoughts exactly. Here, we have another example of the professional left zeroing in on words at the expense of substance.

I was an adjunct lecturer for 25 years with CUNY. I can say that some students definitely don’t belong in college. They don’t have the interest and/or aptitude. But that isn’t to denigrate them. There should be more support for people who want to go into the trades or become a cook, a barber a mailman, a bartender, a home attendant, a doorman, a janitor etc. The people that do these jobs should be be paid a living wage, far more than many are getting now and they should be treated with respect for what they do. Why should a lawyer or teacher command more respect than the people who pick up our trash, or the EMTs who may save our lives.
