Related: About this forumThe word "chief" will no longer be used in reference to job titles in the San Francisco Schools
Possible replacements: tyrant, führer, darth
The word chief will no longer be used in reference to job titles in the San Francisco Unified School District in an effort, school officials said, to avoid the words connotation with Native Americans. A replacement term has not been determined.

Or something like that. I'll have to check the Duke grad school catalog to see which courses address this.
