It’s not inclusive to force people to stop saying “you guys”, which is a midwestern thing. Different areas have a different words for the plural you, such as “you all” or “y’all” or “all y’all”. I grew up in Chicago and everyone said “you guys”, regardless of the group’s genders. I think it’s absurd the school would go after him for that.

Also, for English, new verbs and nouns are constantly made. Not pronouns. [0]

Also, the cheating thing is ridiculous, full stop. I’d have a hard time dealing with folks like that as well.
