'Gender Unicorn': University Students in Western Carolina Fume Over Mandatory 'Woke' Training
sputnik news ^

Posted on 01/08/2022 1:16:08 PM PST by algore

The so-called Gender Unicorn - a cartoon illustrating different sexual and gender identities - has emerged in Western educational initiatives over recent years.

In Alberta, Canada, for example, it received criticism in 2017, and the Alberta Teachers Association removed it from handbooks when aspiring to create LGBT-friendly classrooms.

Resident Assistants (RAs) at Western Carolina University have been mandated to attend "woke" training in gender and racial sensitivity on how to avoid the usage of certain potentially offensive phrases and were offered the "Gender Unicorn" illustration to help with the said studies, Fox News has reported.

According to one of the slides obtained by the network, the training urges students not to use phrases like "When I look at you I don't see colour" or "America is a melting pot".

The problem with the latter, for example, might occur when someone assumes that the phrase means one should "assimilate to the dominant culture".

Another class, said to be titled "Rainbow 101", offers students a "Gender Unicorn" illustration with charts for "gender identity", "gender expression", "sex assigned at birth", "physically attracted to", and "emotionally attracted to".

It is also said that students have been asked to watch a video titled "Human sexuality is complicated".

When the students get fed up and “transgender” their administration then things may change.

The Professor of “Diversity” thanks you for the 300K / year job to promote their degeneracy.

I am pretty sure a Gender Unicorn does not really exist, but I have seen some Gender Fairies.

The training wants to avoid inclusive language?

Makes no sense.

Everyone laughed at my Transgender Studies degree, but who is laughing now?! (Please tell me so I can have them expelled.)

Wait till they have to pass “diversity training” a few times a year at that new job!

I thought I escaped it with the small company I work for now - no such luck. They got woke.

I wonder when “vaccine harrassment” will be a topic.

Sure it does. From the article:

The problem with the latter, for example, might occur when someone assumes that the phrase [melting pot] means one should "assimilate to the dominant culture".
For 200+ years, people came to America specifically to assimilate to the dominant culture. But now that's frowned upon, indeed it is discouraged.

Is it any wonder the country is coming apart?

No, it isn’t. There’s:
1) Men attracted to women;
2) Women attracted to men;
3) Perversion.

Moronic garbage.

Hardly an institution of “higher learning.” Institutions that teach this stupid stuff are a waste of time, money, and space. Defund and shut them down.
