Univ. of North Dakota leader defends gender inclusion’ plan

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The president of the University of North Dakota on Friday defended a proposal that would allow students to use restrooms and locker rooms consistent with their gender identity, saying the intent is to align the Grand Forks-based school with existing laws and to better protect LGBTQ students from harassment and discrimination.

University President Andrew Armacost’s livestreamed presentation came after widespread criticism from state lawmakers, North Dakota’s two Roman Catholic bishops and Grand Forks Mayor Brandon Bochenski, who said in a Facebook post that the gender inclusion policy proposal “spits in the face of everything we believe in” and called it a “sad day for my alma mater.” The proposal would require, among other things, the use of a transgender person’s preferred pronouns and allow people to use facilities that align with their gender identity.

The policy also says the university expects to use gender-inclusive imagery and language in signage, publications and marketing material.

Armacost, a former brigadier general and retired dean at the Air Force Academy, was named president of the university in late 2019.

There you have it folks, the state and the universities do not care about the safety of your young adult children or anyone else for that matter.

Stop sending your children to college.

People (alledged people) who don’t really do anything have no common sense. Or they would have real jobs.

Some people need to go to prison over this stuff.

In fact, they need to be on death row.

“Armacost, a former brigadier general and retired dean at the Air Force Academy ...”

It’s no wonder we haven’t won a war in awhile.

The colleges won’t let your children defend themselves (carry concealed) and won’t do common sense things to protect them.

Why trust them with your kids.

Yeah, let’s take college guys, who are at peak horniness, and
tell them if they “identify” as female, they have free rein to waltz into women’s restrooms and locker rooms.

Would someone please explain to these wisened erudite scholars that men can’t be women and vice versa? I refuse to accept such nonsense and will never refer to an obvious man in woman’s clothing as “she/her”. They have mental issues and should not be pandered to.

I’m old enough to remember them saying it was laughable to accuse them of wanting boys in the girls room.

Some of this gender stuff can be confusing, so let me see if I can help clear it up.

If you believe most women and girls are victims of horrible sexual assault and the best thing for them is to force them to share locker rooms and restrooms with men ... you might be a Democrat.

Just have a student identify as president of the school. Occupy the idiot’s office.

This LGBT crap plus minorities and non- citizen types being given preference are just a few of the priorities these woke American pukes have pushed on citizens.

If I had a daughter in that university-I’d pull her out. We know what the AF academy is like based on this woke Retired Gen. America has been trashed by idiots like this one. In fact, seeing two males celebrate their wedding in front of the main chapel at Ft. Bragg was a disgrace to many of our men who paid for freedom with their lives.

Real women and girls should start filing complaints against pervert guys who enter ladies bathrooms and locker rooms. They don't even have to be true...just so that those pervs get the message: you're not a female!

So kind of him to be concerned about the safety of transgender students- yet have no concern at all about the safety of one half ot the student body who are actually born with XX/female chromosomes.

He ought to be fired for discrimination against the female students and their concerns.
