USA Africa Dialogue Series - motion to expunge WITCHCRAFT and WITCH NUNT from the Brirtish Lexicon

to be a wizard seems to be positive and masculine and to be a witch seems to be negative and feminine.

I would like to move that the worlds WITCHCRAFT and WITCHHUNT should be EXPUNGED  from the  English/British Lexicon because they prove to be unfair, discriminatory and archaic

in place of the  words WITCHCRAFT  we could use CRUEL CRAFT and in place of witch hunt we use Heinous Hunt.

 Publishers of oxford dictionary and cammbrdge dictionary please take note

including my vice chancellor, Professor Ayo Banjo  of the English Department, university of  Ibadan ,Nigeria copy also to Professor Akin Adesokan,university of Indiana, African studies department
