Democrat Lawmakers Want College Republicans Derecognized at Washington State
If you can’t beat them, eliminate them.
These are elected Democrat officials, targeting Republican college students. It’s unreal.

Democrat lawmakers try to get College Republicans derecognized by university
“Workplace climate” standards are often loose enough that any disfavored or controversial person can be fired for speech or behavior that is conveniently interpreted as “harassment.”
These standards are exactly what a cabal of Democratic lawmakers in Washington state, including House Higher Education Committee Vice-Chair Gerry Pollet, wants to impose on registered student organizations at Washington State University.
In a poorly written letter to WSU President Kirk Schulz – whose name it twice misspells – a dozen state representatives and senators demanded the public university revoke its recognition of the College Republicans chapter.
They object to the fact that the chapter’s former leader James Allsup, a self-described paleoconservative, was invited to speak at the “Unite the Right” white-nationalist rally in Charlottesville last month.
He aired such views “as President of the WSU College Republicans Long [sic] before the Charlottesville Nazi rally,” and they were “given a sanctioned platform on campus,” the lawmakers wrote.
They took a social media post by Allsup’s successor Amir Rezamand out of context as well, to suggest that Allsup’s views “continued” in the organization, from which he quickly resigned after the Charlottesville rally.
