This is absolute insanity - I do not mean surprising/wild, I mean the people/organizations who have curated this page of random innocuous words and contexts have completely lost touch with reality and should be relieved of any serious positions in higher learning.

You can't use the word brave anymore? What in the hell is going on with academics?

Not everyone who looks like an adult is an adult mentally. Some get stuck in college, some in high school, some in kindergarten. I believe that most of the woke types are the kindergarten type: they are doing the right thing, but in their local coordinate system.

They discourage use of "brave" as a noun, which does mean "a Native American Warrior" (Free Dictionary). I never heard the word used as a noun, but I'm not a native speaker. Doesn't look like they have a problem with brave as an adjective.
