   This is from an article that I saw posted, today:   
      
   " Pennsylvania University Threatens to Punish Students for   
   Misusing Classmates' Pronouns   
      
   " Point Park Uni placed students on warning, saying in an email   
   that "action could be taken" if they don't respect their   
   classmates' preferred pronouns.   
      
   " An email from the university's Office of Equity and   
   Inclusion, first obtained by Campus Reform, informed students   
   of its anti-discrimination policies, including its   
   "Misgendering, Pronoun Misuse, and Deadnaming Policy."   
      
   " If an individual is impacted in a harmful way, action could   
   be taken if a complaint is filed," the email reads. It is   
   unclear what 'action' the school intends to take against those   
   who violate the policy.
