A University of Pennsylvania student was banned from attending classes because he objected to the teacher that there were only two sexes.
In a lecture entitled “481 Christianity: Me, Sin, and Salvation,” a feminist teacher asked the girls to comment on an 15-minute video in which a transgender (formerly pastor) complains about “sexism, chauvinism, and the dominance of men.” When it turned out that the girls had nothing to say, the last year student Lake Ingle noticed that according to the official point of view of biologists, there are only two sexes. He also pointed out that the myth of the “gender wage gap”, according to which women receive less for the same work, has long been refuted.
Such remarks did not please the teacher, who drove the student out of the classroom, forbidding him to return. Not limited to this, she wrote a complaint to the university administration, in which, among other things, the student was accused of “disrespectful objection”, “refusal to stop speaking out of turn” and “disrespectful remarks about the validity of trans-consistency”.
As a condition for the student to return to her classes, without which he would not be able to finish university at the end of the semester, the teacher demanded the following:
“The student will write an apology in which the above items will be addressed, and will accept responsibility for his obscene behavior, seriously spoiling the learning atmosphere.
The student will explain the importance of a safe atmosphere for the learning environment and acknowledge that his behavior has severely damaged her. He will also explain how he intends to show respect for the teacher, subject and fellow students in the remaining classes.
The next lesson will begin with the student apologizing to the class for his behavior, and then he will silently listen to how the teacher and everyone will talk about how they felt during his disrespectful and destructive behavior in the last lesson. ”
Despite the fact that in May he may not be able to graduate, the student refused to meet these requirements.
“The teacher violates my rights guaranteed by the first constitutional amendment, in particular freedom of speech,” says Lake. She’s trying to baiting me, shutting my mouth and putting me in an uncomfortable position because I dared to speak out against her abuse of her position when she indoctrinates students, avoiding different points of view. ”
Through conservative host Tucker Carlson's Fox News broadcast, the student was able to expose the incident to the media, which likely helped the university president decide to return him to classes after an 18-day suspension. Lake Ingle will now be able to graduate from university and plans to one day become a teacher.
“When I see such an abuse of intellectual power, it encourages me to return to teach with responsibility and ethics,” says Lake. Instead of being an advocate for ideology, I want to be an educator. ”
