This Wolverine is my hero of the week.
Sometimes in life, the best argument against absurdity is more absurdity. That is just what University of Michigan student Grant Stroble chose to do when the campus recently offered a new opportunity to allow students to designate their own pronouns or titles on course rosters. This policy was put together by a pronoun committee. Yes, you read that correctly. And, yes, this is what your tax and tuition dollars are paying for at public schools like UM. Stroble decided to participate in the initiative and, from now on, must be addressed by his professors and fellow classmates as "His Majesty."
He didn't take to the streets in angry protest. He didn't seek a safe space to avoid interacting with others. He simply used the policy in place to simultaneously be respectful of everyone and promote inclusiveness, while demonstrating the silliness of arbitrary social positions. Nice work, kid.
