Mandatory Title IX training tells Harvard undergrads they may be subject to disciplinary proceedings for 'sizeism,' 'fatphobia,' 'cisheterosexism,' 'ableism'.
Welcome to Harvard!
"Fatphobia" and "cisheterosexism" perpetuate "violence." "Using the wrong pronouns" constitutes "abuse." And "any words used to lower a person’s self-worth" are "Verbal Abuse." Those are just a handful of the things the school told all undergraduate students in a mandatory Title IX training session, according to materials reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon.
The online training, which all undergraduates were required to complete in order to enroll in courses, includes a "Power and Control Wheel" to help students identify "harmful" conduct. Outside the wheel are attitudes that "contribute to an environment that perpetuates violence," a voiceover from the training states, including "sizeism and fatphobia," "cisheterosexism," "racism," "transphobia," "ageism," and "ableism."
Inside the wheel are behaviors that the school says constitute "abuse" and could violate its Title IX policies. "We all have an essential role to play in creating a community that cultivates gender equity and inclusion," Harvard College dean Rakesh Khurana told students in a video introducing the training. "Completing this course is a critical step in establishing a shared understanding of the values here at Harvard College."
Harvard launched the training in 2016, according to the Harvard Crimson, and announced in 2018 that completing the training was a prerequisite for course enrollment. The school is vague on the repercussions for violations of its sprawling interpretation of Title IX, a federal law that prohibits discrimination based on sex, stating that violations "may" result in "termination, dismissal, expulsion" or "revocation of tenure."
A spokesman for Harvard's Office for Gender Equity, which conducts the Title IX training, did not respond to a request for comment. Harvard did not respond to a request for comment.

“Harvard Tells Students: ‘Using Wrong Pronouns’ Constitutes ‘Abuse’”
That is true, but in exactly the opposite way from their intent. It is abusive to lie to people and encourage them to cultivate lies about themselves.
Fine then, my pronouns are Zyxjdkenf and idhsuek. Misuse or mispronounce them at your own peril.
My pronoun is MAGA
What would Harvard say about that?
Harvard is the abuser - forcing people to use incorrect pronouns is abuse.
This is the best university our country has to offer?
Stick a fork in it, it’s done.
For any leftist asking me what my pronouns are, it’s “fu.k” and “you”.
It’s obvious where this is going. Making it a crime to use the wrong pronouns. Oh, they won’t put that in the law. No. They will just make it a crime to harass or aggress anyone who is a member of a protected group.
Then “law enforcement” will interpret the law broadly, so that not using a pronoun will get you arrested and thrown in jail.
Thus they will have destroyed the part in the Constitution that talks about “free speech” or some such thing that we once had in this once-great country.
I identify as “NP-PUP”
A “non preferred pronoun using person”
I just feel inside that a man is a man and a woman is a woman and I just can’t use made up pronouns.
I have identified this way since I was very young and now that I finally have the courage to “come out” as a NP-PUP I am experiencing NP-PUPaphobia at my university.
Why do I have to deny what I feel is true inside me? Why can I not express my identity? Stop the H8! Stop the NP-PUPaphobes!
Yawn...dont have time for these crybabies
William F. Buckley, Jr.
"Anyone who uses the wrong pronouns....and I'll kill you!"
Harvard has become a laughing stock. Nobody in their right mind would pay tens of thousands of dollars to send their kid there.
Colleges have become LGBTQ+ dictatorships, and society as a whole is becoming that way.
Harvard hired Mr. Potatohead from CNN, what more do you need to know?
Lighten up, uh... Francis?!?
You just made the List!
Harvard is really preparing its students well for a life in the real world, where nobody will give a good damn if their wittle feewings are hurt.
