University of Minnesota faculty, staff to undergo LGBT pronoun training
College Fix ^ | January 1, 2020 | Daniel Payne

Faculty and staff at the University of Minnesota are gearing up to undergo pronoun training in order to make the campus a more welcoming environment for “transgender” and “non-binary” community members.

A university policy first floated in the summer of 2018 and recently finalized dictates that university employees “are expected to use the names, gender identities and pronouns specified to them by university members.” Failing to abide by this policy “could result in discipline,” according to the policy’s FAQ page.

There has to be a 1st Amendment lawsuit. U Minnesota is a public school and students, faculty, and staff enjoy maximal free speech rights. That includes not being forced to use they for a person. and made up pronouns.

You are right. UMinn is subject to due process, so this one needs to be filed fast.

Trouble is, there probably aren’t enough faculty members brave enough to challenge it.

It’s over. The genies out of the bottle. I know you want to fight this but you will have as much success as making gay marriage illegal again. Not going to happen.

After they subject the people to modern brainwashing systems with electric shocks, mind drugs and solitary confinement in sensory deprivation tanks they will come out full supporters of the new horizons of socialist people’s LGBTQ life.

I once worked at University of South Carolina.

My phb-ette informed me that I was not to speak unless spoken to outside of the office area my group was housed.

The training will soon be in the public schools if it isn’t already. We are a nation gone mad and Minnesota is one of the leaders.

Why are ‘educated’ people so stupid.

Because they have abandoned the canon of Western Civilization.

And because they're idiots.

It takes smart people combined with education in a bad ideology to produce people so functionally properly Stupid that they are incapable of sustaining a civilization.

Cultural Marxism has succeeded wildly in producing Stupid of this caliber.

Once upon a time, I was all set to go to the U of M but the Marine Corps recruiter made a better offer. I gave up keggers and protests to serve my country instead. (Truth be told, I did manage to squeeze a frat kegger or two in later with some buddies that attended there.)

What a monstrosity that institution has become and the state gubamint that funds most of it as well.

These people are not stupid. They are creating a monolithic culture in which opposing viewpoints are first marginalized and finally eradicated. They are trying to push out any holdouts, so their eventual power will be absolute within the university.

Bernie’s “free college tuition for all” idea is really a “free re-education camp for all” ploy. Sure, you’ll get to go to college on the backs of taxpayers, but while you’re there they’re going to convert you (if you aren’t already a leftist) through their policies and constant emphasis on leftist ideology.

They are building a future generation of leftists that will run the country. They are playing the long game, and yes, they will win. There is no way out at this point. This generation will be the ones to pass the “hate speech” laws, the criminalization of holding certain traditional values, the socialization of healthcare, the central planning of energy production, the plundering of “rich” people’s 401k, IRA, and HSA accounts, and they will tear down Trump’s wall and institute an open border policy.

I learned the first rule of good manners is: try not to make a nuisance of yourself. Schools today are teaching the exact opposite!

Yup, but it’s not too late. Step one is to reelect Trump so he can continue replacing as many leftist judges as possible as a huge part of draining the swamp. Then make sure we elect another great conservative in 2024.
