George Washington University Conservative Club Opted Out of LGBT Training — Here’s What Happened

It appears, thanks to George Washington University may need to institute some sort of heterosexual sensitivity training. Because by all appearances the University simply cannot tolerate straight students who don’t feel it necessary to attend any pro-gay training.

Why would I say this? Well, a conservative club is going through a truck load of hate and discrimination for opting out of gay sensitivity training. In what may be one of the best examples of hypocritical discrimination we’ve seen in a long time, the conservative club is being called a ‘cancer’ and a ‘hate group’ for opting out of the training.

Campus Reform has more.

A conservative student organization at the George Washington University (GW) has been targeted as a “hate group” by other organizations and GW students after asking to be exempt from LGBT sensitivity training.

GW’s chapter of Young America Foundation—an organization that advocates individual freedom, a strong national defense, free enterprise, and traditional values—has said that they would hope to receive a “religious exemption” from a new student government bill that would require all student leaders to participate in mandatory LGBT-issues trainings, according to the Hatchet, GW’s student newspaper.

“Mandated training is not really being very tolerant of all religious beliefs,” Emily Jashinsky, the YAF chapter’s president, told the Hatchet. “The way that people who are deeply Christian behave is for a reason, and if you’re training them to change that behavior, there’s obviously a problem with that.”

The training sessions would teach student organization leaders about transgender issues, including the use of preferred pronouns, gender identities, and sexualities.

Jashinsky, a senior at GW, is also a correspondent for Campus Reform. She told the Hatchet that her organization, which is primarily made up of Christian and/or conservative students, is very inclusive of LGBT students and considers the group a “safe space.”

Since the Hatchet article was published on Thursday, the organization and students involved have faced extensive backlash from the school community.

A statement from GW’s Allied in Pride, an LGBT advocacy organization, labeled YAF as a “hate group” and called for the university to defund the student organization.

Really? Now only do they get labelled a hate group, they also may lose funding? How exactly is THAT not blatant discrimination?

Silly Leftists, this is why reeducation camps aren’t voluntary; people opt out.

Another reason not to attend one of the moron factories formerly known as “college.”

With these aggressive tactics the homosexuals are risking major blowback.

And they'll probably like it.

Just how much perversion (look it up) are we to accept. If you are normal today it is assumed that there is something wrong with you.

Mandatory re-education camps for those who fail to celebrate perversity.

They celebrate diversity in appearance and behavior but not thought.

Always have loved the word “training.”

Makes me think of toddlers and puppies.
