Builders forced to stop construction until 'sexist' Men Working signs removed
College administrator claims signs are 'non-inclusive'
Sinclair Community College in Dayton, Ohio, has a 'deep commitment to diversity'

PUBLISHED: 21:01 EST, 3 December 2012 | UPDATED: 21:01 EST, 3 December 2012


A construction crew was forced to remove their 'Men Working' sign at a community college in Ohio after it was described as 'sexist and non-inclusive.'
The builders were also made to stop working until the sign was removed.
A college administrator complained about the wording at Sinclair Community College in downtown Dayton.

'Sexist and non-inclusive'? A Men Working sign like the one at Sinclair College
The female employee complained about the sign and, according to Fox News, she also suggested several alternatives to the crew, such as 'Construction Zone.'
While builders complied with the demands, work was stopped until the sign was removed.


Sinclair Community College in Dayton, Ohio
After this incident, Sinclair's director of public information Adam Murka told Fox News that the college has a 'deep commitment to diversity' and takes it 'quite seriously.'
Murka added: 'While it may not have been necessary to suggest work be stopped, we stand by our commitment to providing an environment that is inclusive and non-discriminatory.'

So now all signs have to be literal?

Deer crossing signs now need to show non-antlered as well since the general public won't know whether to be on the lookout for does.



"A college administrator complained about the wording at Sinclair Community College in downtown Dayton."

Can you imagine how bitter, uptight, always on the defensive, living life with a huge chip on her shoulder this person must be?

I'm sure there were no women on the construction crew, so what's the problem?!

How about "HUMANS WORKING". Just don't put one outside the college admin office.

If this is a union jobsite sign should read:

People in area. No work being done.

Men and Broads/Babes/Chicks Working?

Hope nobody falls into a huperson hole. How about that new sandwich they renamed the Personwich.

Hey we do belong to the Huperson race and it is the season to Wish for Peace for all Personkind.

I just hope we can still have a separate Mens room and I wonder if in Jamacia they will be saying Hey Pouson.

This of course was a problem that needed to be solved. The poisoning of America's youth continues.
